I'm not sure what Perforce is, but I suspect it runs as an NT Service ...
our company has a number of scripts that run under the control of an NT
Service ... we have never been able to use the 'system' command, backticks,
or qx to spawn processes and retrieve their results ... except in version
Do you intend for $listfiles to be a perl variable that gets
expanded in your command or do you want it to be a reference to
a shell variable? If the latter, you need to enter your command
in single quote or escape the $.
chdir and system do work from perl on Windows just like they work
from u
