command line scripts on winx is a pain. It doesn't handle quoting very well. Note here you've got the script enclosing dbl quotes in the script itself. Even on *nix you'll have troubles w/ that. On linux you could do (note enclosing single quotes): $ perl -e 'print("Hello world.\n");' but on windows, you're better off just writing the script to a file and working that way. Or changing your cmd.com to something more flexible ;-> (seriously, there is a bash etc. for winx). a Andy Bach Systems Mangler Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] VOICE: (608) 261-5738 FAX 264-5932 Committee, n.: A group of men who individually can do nothing but as a group decide that nothing can be done. -- Fred Allen _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list ActivePerl@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
