using 'system' function

[Grazer]

hi,

I am trying to call a script from a cgi page using the system function. ie

system("c:\\scripts\\bla.vbs bla" #where bla is an argumen

But the cgi just ignores this line totally, and doesn't do anything. It works perfectly from the command line. But from the web, it just ignores.

Does anybody know why?

Thanks.

system ('perl c:\scripts\bla.pl');

under windows you need to indicate what program should execute you script.

Except that the program he's trying to run is .vbs, not .pl, so it's probably not a perl program. If it was a perl program he could just do it instead of using a system call. Tracy Dryden
