RE: Backticks and IIS6.0
I'm moving from Windows 2000 (IIS 5) to Windows Server 2003 (IIS6). I'm unable to capture the output of a program using backticks in a CGI script. I've had weird issues using backticks on windows in general (in the past). As a habit, I've since used system() instead and I've had no problems with it. This could be a permissions issue as Peter said. You may also want to try this... open (P1, ping $host 21|) || die Cannot start ping\n; @ping1 = P1; close(P1); - Chris ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
RE: Backticks and IIS6.0
Thanks to all who relied. It turned out to be a permissions issue. I'm running anonymous IIS has a domain user rather that the default iis_machinename. When I added the domain user to the local admin group it worked. Since that's a really bad idea I have to go through the local security policy to make it work.
