Hi,
I am no fan of Bill Gates either :) but the client
needs to use his crap. The simplified version of code
is:
.....
$arg1="userid";
$arg2="password";
@args = ("C:\\perlcode\\validate.exe","$arg1","$arg2");
system(@args);
$exit_value = $? >> 8;
$signal_num = $? & 127;
$dumped_core = $? & 128;
print "$exit_value, $signal_num, $dumped_core\n";
.....
validate.exe is the C executable, that validates the
credentials against a database on some other machine.
When called from IIS, system call never makes it to the
validate.exe. $exit_value is 128 (instead of 0).
Thanks
Atul
