Greetings,
Does anyone know how to get perl to run windows
commands like "dir /b". Specifically, perl doesn't
accept any type of argument switches. I've tried
system(), exec() and backticks in my script.
However, If I remove the switch, for example:
system("dir"). This works fine. But I need those
switches for many of my command utilites on windows. I
can't figure it out.
I've spent hours on google trying to find a code
snippet or comment with someone trying to use a
switch. nada. I started experimenting with open(FH,
$command|) but it doesn't seem to work either.
hopefully someone here knows,
thanks,
-Mb
