Can I include a korn shell script in a perl program?
Not include, but you certainly can execute a shell script from within a Perl program.
I have done the following but I get a compilation failed error. abc is the ksh script. ----------------------------------------------------- require "/home/xxx/yyy/abc";
'require' is to load *Perl* modules - your script as you said is for ksh. Even though Perl has a lot of the natural feeling of shell scripts, it does not parse shell scripting language. Many scripts may be translated to Perl with little additional work (possibly adding a bunch of quotes and colons). You may try something like system "/home/xxx/yyy/abc"; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
