Hi,
This question may be too simple for this group; if so, I apologize. I
only use perl once in a while and this is my first experience with Win32::GUI.
I wrote a simple perl script that calls GetSaveFileName to get the
name of an output file and then calls the shell to execute some
separate programs (I get the same problems using backtics or system).
After the call to GetSaveFileName, the shell commands do not seem to
find the necessary files (even though the files exist in the current
directory), unless I specify the full path for those files. If I
remove the call to GetSaveFileName and hard-wire a name, everything works.
It is not a problem with the subroutine that calls GetSaveFileName;
the subroutine returns the right name (including full path). It seems
like Win32::GUI is having some undesirable side effect:
-does Win32::GUI change the current path? (my tests suggests it does not)
-does Win32::GUI change the shell that executes the backtick or
system commands or the settings of that shell?
-anything else?
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Gabriel
PS: Here is my GetSaveFileName (which, as I indicated, is working OK
except for the "side effects").
sub GetSaveFileName
#
# returns selected pdf file
# #no arguments (may want to add them later)
{
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::GUI qw();
my $window_main = Win32::GUI::Window->new(
-name => 'window_main',
-size => [320, 240],
-title => 'CmnDlg - Save As',
);
$window_main->Show();
my $file = '';
my $directory = 'C:/';
# Save as file dialog box, show files with *.txt extension, in messages folder
$file = Win32::GUI::GetSaveFileName(
-owner => $window_main,
-title => 'Select
Output pdf file',
-directory => $directory,
-filter => ['Pdf
files', '*.pdf', 'All files', '*.*'],
-file => $file,
);
return $file;
}
