RE: Launching an .exe file from Perl

You could do a quick script like:


my @array = ('paint.exe', 'photo.exe');
foreach (@array){
    system($_) or die;
}
[download]

then you can just put each program into the array and not have a clutter of system calls.

As just mentioned on the chatterbox, you have to say `system($_) && die $!;` [download] because system() returns 0 on success.	[reply] [d/l]
