It works with Perl 5.003 but not with 5.005.

I am running the following Perl program.
#!

$sas="\"G:\\Program Files\\SAS Institute\\SAS8\\sas.exe\"";

#$sas="D:\\SAS612\\sas.exe";

print "$sas";
system ("$sas") && die "\n\nCouldn't do it\n\n";

exit;

With the line enabled for the first value for $sas it fails to execute the
intended program.  With the second value enabled it executes the prior
version of SAS ok.  I can cut/paste the line that I print and it executes
ok.  This is from NT at a DOS command window.  Here is the output.

D:\Inetpub\WWWRoot\cgi-bin>perl -w foo.pl
"G:\Program Files\SAS Institute\SAS8\sas.exe"Can't spawn "cmd.exe": No such
file
 or directory at foo.pl line 8.


Couldn't do it


Can someone point me in the right direction?  Thanks.

Jim Hoffman
