Is there any equivalent in windows for system("perl program.pl");

[mylvaga]

Instead of having change the directory always for this c:\perl\bin\perl program.pl, how do i write a search function in perl to do that search itself and run..

if($num == 1)
{
# change the path here
# system("perl extract.pl"
system("c:\\perl\\bin\\perl program1.pl"
}
elsif ($num == 2)
{
# change the path here
system("c:\\perl\\bin\\perl program2.pl"
}

Help me out..

I don't understand what do you want exactly, but you can put perl.exe in your c:\windows\ or anywhere in a directory that is define in PATH variable.

Then you'll don't need to specifiy the directory for using perl.

I hope it help you.
