I have a Perl program which does something like below: #!perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $exe = "C:\\project\\set_env_and_run.bat";
my $arg1 = "\\\\Server\\share\\folder1";
my $arg2 = "D:\\output\\folder1";
my $cmd = "$exe \"$arg1\" \"$arg2\"";
my $status = system("$cmd > c:\\tmp\\out.txt 2>&1");
print "$status\n";
I am calling this Perl code in an eval block. When invoked, i get the status printed as 0, but the batch file has not actually executed. What would be the reason for this? Any issue with the 'system' call coded above?
Thanks, Jits
