That is odd, I have the same scripts running here on AS-Perl 5.6 with out
problem on both WinNt and Win2000 Adv Server. There are chdir's in most of
the scripts I run on the 2000 server as it is running IIS 5.0 which does the
pathing differently.
chdir "d:/dopplegangers/cgi-bin";
Thats how I do mine with out problem on Win2k

Another way I have found is that on a Win32 system there is an Env varriable
called WINDIR on windows machines.
foreach $env (keys(%ENV))
{
print "<b>$env = $ENV{$env}<br><br>\n";
}
The $env will return WINDIR and $ENV($env) will return the path win question, c:\winnt
etc...

I use this to set up accounts on our mail server for a web based for, it has to call
an app mdaddusr.exe and the following is how I call it.
$apppath = "n:/mdaemon/app/mdaddusr.exe";
$domain = "\@dopplegangers.com";
$fname = $FORM{'fname'};
$lname = $FORM{'lname'};
$aname = $FORM{'account'};
$pass = $FORM{'password'};
$uname = "$fname $lname";
$app = "$apppath $aname$domain $pass \"$uname\"";
$app (above) returns the output of the command line. This is probably NOT a truely
correct way to do
this but it works just fine for me...
Hope this helps,
