Re: Perl Exec with Spaces

windows shells don't have escape sequences for spaces, so you have to put double quotes inside $cmd. try:
$cmd = "\"$BaseDir$myprog\""

Everything is true." "Even false things?" "Even false things are true" "How can that be?" "I dunno man, I didn't do it."

As it should. You can either use IPC::Open3 or launch your application via `start`.	[reply] [d/l]
