Greetings Perl-win32-users,
I need to run a dos program with parameters about 1500 times with different
parameter sets. I have a perl script that creates batch files with the program
call and parameters and these work fine. I am trying to find a way to
automatically run all the batch files. The dos program also requires
confirmation from the keyboard 7 time to run to completion. If I run the
program from a batch file I just need to hit "enter" 7 times before the first
one is needed and the program runs to completion so the keystrokes are buffered
and used by the program appropriately.
Is there any way to run this program from perl and have the perl script supply
the 7 required enters? I don't understand enough about threads and processes to
figure out how this might be done. I have tried calling the batch files using
system, backticks and system and can not get even close.
