If you've set up 4NT to replace your shell, you shouldn't see this.  If
you're seeing it, and you think you've set 4NT up as a replacement, then
something's wrong and you need to check the registry.

If you're just running 4NT as an independent app, you can try JPSoft's tech
support website.  They have a bunch of registry hacks that make 4DOS/NT the
default app for certain alternative batchfile types.  You can modify
perl2bat to create one of those types of files instead of .bat, so your
script will run under 4NT by default.  Don't forget--if 4NT isn't your
default shell and your scripts CAN run under cmd.exe, they probably ought to
do so, to avoid really-hard-to-debug behaviors.

More generally, you should try asking this question on the jpsoft elist or
of their tech support staff--plenty of perl hackers there....

Subject: alternative to cmd.exe


In our environment, we are using 4NT to get around some DOS issues that W2K
has problems with, or we haven't dealt with. What I found is that when a
PERL job is run in a 4NT environment, it runs using the CMD.EXE instead of
4NT.EXE. Is there a way in PERL to tell it to use a different command line
interpreter other than CMD.EXE ?

thx
Ivano
