Re^2: Starting a process under Win32

I've changed it to

Win32::Process::Create( $p,
                        "C:\\Program Files\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\vlc.exe",
                        "C:\\Program Files\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\vlc.exe --r
+c-host 127.0.0.1:9999",
                        0,
                        NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,
                        '.' ) or die $! . $^E;
[download]

Still the same problem, VLC reports the command line is no good.

OK. What is the exact text of the error message?	[reply]

`The command line options couldn't be loaded, check that they are valid +. Press the RETURN key to continue...` [download] This error is coming from VLC, the perl script reports no error at the Create() call.	[reply] [d/l]

Continuing to pursue a Win32::Process solution when `system 1, ...` appears to do exactly what you've asked for, seems pointless. Of course, you probably shouldn't have been pointed to a complicated solution when a simple one is available. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. "Too many [] have been sedated by an oppressive environment of political correctness and risk aversion."	[reply] [d/l]
