Objet: Path of an EXE file
To use Win32::Process::Create, one must supply the full path of the program
to be launched. It's obviously not good to hard code the path if that
program may be installed in different directories on different machines. I
had to do the following, for instance, to find the full path for SQL utility
osql.exe:
my @path = grep(/sql/i, split(/;/, `path`));
my $app;
foreach my $path (@path) {
$app = "$path\\osql.exe";
last if (-f "\"$app\"");
}
Win32::Process::Create($process, $app, $osql, 1,
$Win32::Process::CREATE_NEW_PROCESS, ".");
...
If the directory happens to be the first on the path, one also has to stripe
off 'PATH='.
Is there a simpler way? There gotta be a simpler way. This is simply too
ugly.
