Re^2: Heredoc with system call

I can see what you are saying, but when I tried your code, I got this error;

system("lsnrctl <<\"EOF\"
set password oracle
set current_listener LISTENER
status
EOF
") == 0 or die "Couldn't run listener control: $?";

<< was unexpected at this time.
Couldn't run listener control: 256 at C:\heredoc_test.pl line 4.

Oh, right. What I wrote would be valid for something like a bash shell but not for anything on Windows where it doesn't understand anything like heredocs. Since win32 perl only pretends to use fork, I found myself quickly unable to write a native CreateProcess call and then write to its stdin. I dunno. I'm just not a Windows programmer. ⠤⠤ ⠙⠊⠕⠞⠁⠇⠑⠧⠊	[reply]
