Delphi with perl

[hagbardc]

So, I have a Delphi application that I've been using for a while. I want to modify it to use a small program that I have written in Perl. Is there any way for me to call a perl program from a Delphi app? I don't even need to get information back from the perl prog - I just need to be able to give it the name of a file.

I also have the perl prog as an .exe file. If I can't call the perl source directly, could I execute this .exe?

TIA -

ShellExecute from ShellAPI unit.

Use this code...

uses ShellAPI;

ShellExecute (Handle, 'open',
'c:\perlscript.pl', nil, nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

The Perl script will work since the Perl interpreter is embedded in the script or you can launch your exe with the same code.
