Invoke a perl script

[jumbo]

Hi,

I have a simple perl script in c:/folder/sample.pl. How do i invoke this script with the help of autoit3?

What you need is the perl interpreter. Use the standard DOS parameters in a run() command to call the script. If .pl extension is associated with the interpreter on your system shellexecute the script directly will do too. Look up run()+StdoutRead() to capture console results.

By doing this via command line will be manual...but I want the perl script to get invoked automatically...Can this be done using autoIt?

Ok, this is exactly what KaFu just told you but in code:

Run("perl.exe C:\yourscript.pl") ; ( lol at perl.exe )

ShellExecute("C:\yourscript.pl")
