Re^3: perl and wscript

But It seems that somehow perl and wscript are not communicating well with each other.

Why/how are you expecting them to communicate? system is not used for communication

$ perl -e " system qw[ cscript //?]"
CScript Error: Windows Script Host access is disabled on this machine.

wscript uses a popup dialog with same message :)

As the VB scripts can be invoked using cscript/wscript <name_of_your_VB_script>, Hence my assumption is to be able to invoke cscript/wscript in the same fashion by using Perl's system function. This time i tried with cscript by invoking `cscript //h:cscript` [download] Now Getting error. `C:\Perl\bin>perl -e "system qw[ cscript c:\\blahblah.wsf]"` [download] Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.

As you have shown and seen yourself, you are invoking successfully with system, the problem is not perl related	[reply]
