Hi, I'm new to Perl and I'm trying to excute/call a perl program from Perl Script in an ASP page. I've loaded ActivePerl v5.6 on my Microsoft Win2000 webserver and I can execute lots of Perl code in my ASP pages with no problem, but I need to call an external program and don't know the correct systax.
In my ASP page: ----------------------------------------------------- <%@ LANGUAGE = PerlScript%> $Response->write("Pete Was Here <br>"); #Works Fine system("MakeFile.pl"); #Doesn't execute the script ----------------------------------------------------- The file "MakeFile.pl" is in the same folder as the above ASP page. "MakeFile.pl" executes successfully from the command line. I have even tried calling "MakeFile.pl" from the command line by calling a second program called "Test.pl" that has the line: system("MakeFile.pl"); This successfully executes the "MakeFile.pl" program. How do I do the same thing from an ASP page ????? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
