Alternatively, you can use the system command:
my $program = "c:\\Program Files\\any directory\\any program";
# qq interpolates $program; '' (single quotes) do not!!
my $command = qq{start "" "$program"};
system ($command);

Subject: 'shell' on ASPerl for Win32
I'm trying to execute a command stored in a variable - specifically
C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\mozilla.exe
use Shell;
my $sh = Shell->new;
print $sh->$w;
isn't it. No variation on quoting seems to work - I either get 'the
system cannot locate the file (and yes, it IS there) or I get various
errors in the sub shell command regarding eval and invalid separators.
I've run thru almost every error message that there is... What's the
syntax?
Thanks!
Mike-
