Re: executables under windows

[Mario R. Sanchez]

hi jon thank you so much - the code you provided works perfectly. however, when i replace whois whith my hello.exe it does not display anything. could it be that it may have something to do with that these .EXE's? one is an .exe created in pascal from an old dos compiler, the other a newer win32 cobol compiler that creates an exe but requires 2 .dll's to run? odd how under the command prompt perl hello.pl works perfectly using either of these .EXEs - but via the browser/cgi they dont work. thank you so much for any ideas. mario Jon Jaques wrote:  Okay, try this: (it uses "whois.exe" from softgears.com, which must be placed in your system32 dir):  -------------------------------------------------------------------------# This code has been tested, and can be seen at:# http://monitor.sysconn.com/cgi-bin/test.pluse CGI qw/:standard :netscape :html3 -no_debug/; my $query = new CGI; $| = 1;print  header,  start_html('DOMAIN RESEARCHER!'); my $action; my $val;$action = ""; $val = `$action`; print "The value is: \n<pre>" . $val .
