I could try that, but still, what about the first error? As I said, it does not 
even get to the point of running system(...). It stops here:

$command_tmpdir = tempdir(DIR => $Codestriker::tmpdir);

The tempdir(...) invocation seems to work ok. Any assignment to this variable 
fails.

Strange.  Being windows, and mod_perl, you might have to explicitly
set the PATH in your apache config to get around this, so that certain
executables can run?
