Opening a Perl File

[NSearch 0]

When I use this code, I get an error saying something like, the external file can not be opened.

$PID1 = Run("C:\test.pl")

Do I need to open Perl first?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

See FAQ #6: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/faq.htm#6

So you need to pass the file as a paramter to the perl interpreter (I think).

When I go to start, run, and type in C:\test.pl the file will open and run properly, but when I use this code:

$PID1 = Run(@ComSpec & " /c start " & "C:\test.pl")

I get the following error:

Use of uninitialized value in numeric lt (<) at C:\test.pl line 30

sounds like a variable issue within the perl script. Can you post the perl script up here?

The perl script runs when I double click it or if I run it from start->run, so I do not believe that it is the perl code.

The problem only happens when I try to run the script through autoit.

Any solutions?

What is:

/c

/k

so on and so on.....

I figured it out. The script has to be located in the same folder as the perl script.

Thanks for the help everyone!
