Cannot execute j:\lee_numero.pl

Windows NT error 193 occurred.

<cfexecute name=&quot;j:\lee_numero.pl&quot;
arguments=&quot;10000&quot; outputfile=&quot;j:\temp.txt&quot;>
</cfexecute>
------------------------------------------

I'm pretty sure if you want a Perl scrit executed, you need to do it by using the Perl compiler. Try using <cfhttp>. I think that get you a lot better results (plus a lot more secure - never use cfexecute unless you absolutely have to). ----------------------------------------

I have a few questions for you first before answering this:

1. What system are you running?

2. If you try running this through the command line, can you execute the script by typing:
[tt]perl j:\lee_numero.pl 10000[/tt]

If not, then what command would you use to run it?

thanks....

it's worked........this:


<!--------custom tag------------------>
<cfparam name=&quot;attributes.numero&quot; default=&quot;&quot;>

<cftry>
<cfset attributes.numero=&quot;c:\perl\bin\lee_numero.pl&quot;&&quot; &quot;&attributes.numero>

<cfexecute
name=&quot;c:\Perl\bin\perl.exe&quot;
arguments=&quot;#attributes.numero#&quot;
outputfile=&quot;c:\perl\bin\temp.txt&quot;
timeout=&quot;1&quot;>
</cfexecute>

<CFCONTENT TYPE=&quot;text/html&quot;
FILE=&quot;c:\perl\bin\temp.txt&quot; DELETEFILE=&quot;No&quot;>

<cfcatch type=&quot;Any&quot;>
Error.
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
<!--------custom tag------------------>

Here's some variations. The code is a little shorter.

Note, if you leave out outputfile=&quot;c:\perl\bin\temp.txt&quot; then you do not need to use
<CFCONTENT TYPE=&quot;text/html&quot;
FILE=&quot;c:\perl\bin\temp.txt&quot; DELETEFILE=&quot;No&quot;>

This would be a better solution because you wouldn't have to worry about using <CFLOCK> when reading and writing to a text file. If you had 2 or more people viewing it at the exact same time, the .txt file could become a problem.


Using cmd.exe (Windows Command):

[COLOR=666666]<!--------custom tag------------------>[/color]
<cfparam name=&quot;attributes.numero&quot; default=&quot;&quot;>

<cftry>

<cfexecute name=&quot;C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe&quot;
arguments=&quot;/c perl c:\perl\bin\lee_numero.pl #attributes.numero#&quot;
timeout=&quot;1&quot;/>

<cfcatch type=&quot;Any&quot;>
Error.
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
[COLOR=666666]<!--------custom tag------------------>[/color]

OR Using perl.exe

[COLOR=666666]<!--------custom tag------------------>[/color]
<cfparam name=&quot;attributes.numero&quot; default=&quot;&quot;>

<cftry>

<cfexecute name=&quot;c:\Perl\bin\perl.exe&quot;
arguments=&quot;c:\perl\bin\lee_numero.pl #attributes.numero#&quot;
timeout=&quot;1&quot;/>

<cfcatch type=&quot;Any&quot;>
Error.
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
