Peter,
You should have no problems executing binaries using the system()
function,.. but if you're having problems with shell commands like "dir"
etc, you should try something like:
system("c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe /c dir c:\mydir");
Alternatively there are modules available which will more than likely do
everything and more of what you require. Look on http://search.cpan.com
