To try running directly a .pl file verify that :
the PATHEXT global variable contains .PL in it
AND
the .PL files are well associated with {path to perl.exe}\perl.exe
(a standard activeperl should do these two, but not sure for the first)
If it don't work try starting the script with "perl.exe
D:\Mailroot\Scripts\autoreply.pl"
in the mailproc.tab replacing "D:\Mailroot\Scripts\autoreply.pl"
If it don't work too try with "{path to perl.exe}\perl.exe
D:\Mailroot\Scripts\autoreply.pl"
Note that standard 'registered' (in the registry) associated files =
handling
seems to not be handled by the win32 api function used in xmail to =
start a
process (i don't have in mind the name of the function used and the =
name of
the api function that handle these associations)
If fact to be sure that a script (perl, tcl, vbs, js, ...) starts from =
xmail
ALLWAYS use the syntax :
"{full path to exe that handle the script type, ie c:\perl\perl.exe}
{full path to script file, ie toto.pl}"

Objet : [xmail] Perl in windows.
Hello ,
Nice the xmailserver list is back ;-)
But i have some dificulty's starting perl script via mailproc.tab in
xmail /windows.
Note that i'm not using xmail on windows myself ,but someone other has
this strange problem.
I'm the developer of autoreply script , it runs nice within xmail/linux
, but in xmail/windows there seems some probllems .
I think that the perl executable cannot be found ..
>From the commandline ('dos' prompt) all works as it should be . but
when starting from xmail's mailproc.tab xmail responses with the
following errors:
SMTP client connection from [x.x.x.x]
SMTP client exit [x.x.x.x]
SMAIL local SMTP =3D "domain.net" From =3D <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To=3D
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<<
ErrCode =3D -121
ErrString =3D Error executing external process
USMAIL EXTRN-Send Prg =3D "D:\Mailroot\Scripts\autoreply.pl" From
=3D"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" To =3D "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Failed !
We've tested to start the script via a batch file(within mailproc.tab)
, and then all works well , so in my opinion perl couldn't be started
due some strange reasons .
Perl is in the 'path' , and .pl files are associated with perl=20
btw Xmail is running as service .
Groeten,
Theo.
