Perl tends to fit very well for such tasks, but there is no generic "data migration script" that magically does everything you want (unless somebody writes a libjustdoit wrapper for perl).

Update: in the CB I learned that the OP is looking for a Batch to Perl converter. I don't know of any automated tool that does it, but perhaps somebody else can help...

Well, I need to execute the batch files from within a Perl script Thanks himank

I need to write a migration script in Perl that can automate these batch files.

There's some syntactic confusion in your request. You're either asking for a program that will translate a batch file (presumably from DOS/Windows) into a Perl script, or you're asking how to re-write the batch files into Perl. The former seems like a pretty large assignment, so the latter seems like a more normal request.

Can someone assist me in this plz???

We can certainly assist you when you get stuck, but that means you have to get started on your task, get stuck, and then come back and post again. Do you have any of the excellent Perl books available from O'Reilly? What level programmer are you? Do you think you'd be able to write this yourself, or will you need to hire someone? (If that's the case, this is not the right site to advertise.)

ps You can drop the l33t speak -- we speak English here.

Well, I am sorry for any confusions. I want to call couple of batch files in my Perl script. How do I do that on Windows??

Hi himank,

I want to call couple of batch files in my Perl script

You can do that with system():

system "my_first.bat";
system "my_second.bat";

See perldoc -f system .

Cheers,

With system. Or perhaps with qx.

use strict;
use warnings;
my $batchfile = qq|batchfile.bat|;

my $status = ( system("batchfile.bat") == 0 ) ? 0 : 1;

print "$batchfile status = $status\n";
