I am trying to write an ipl script that opens up an X window seesion so a java module can be run in a Perl based application. I am relatively new to Perl and am not sure how to do this. Thanks...

Marc,

I don't know what an IPL script is but if I need to run a unix command I always use the perl system() function.

The unix command I would use here is 'xterm' which will open up a window for you and run a command is you specify one. Mike
