in thread Can't Get Command Line Unzipper to Execute in CGI/Perl Script

I tried to execute the unzipper with back ticks/quotes too and it didn't work. 
`no-frills.exe $uploadedfile`;

I just want to unzip a file first. I have a lot more additional (also sloppy but it works) code to add but I can't proceed if I can't get the script to execute an unzip...

Thanks very much for the valuable suggestion to try the full path. We'll see if that helps.

    Using the multi-argument form of system will help handle non-trivial file names.

    Make sure the current work directory is what you expect it to be.
