Re: How can i make a perl program lauch another perl program that takes options

Thanks Chas,
This does work. So there's no problem with perl itself. I guess now,
i'll have to take a look at vplan_all.pl.

The sucky thing is that road is too much of pain to go down. (Though
now i don't think ill be able to sleep without thinking about this :))
Oh well, Bug begets bug :)

Anyways,
thx again for helping out
Alex

I have a FreeBSD box handy, but I cannot reproduce your error. Do the
two scripts below work for you?

/home/cowens>uname -smr
FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE i386
/home/cowens>cat t.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

system("perl f.pl foo bar baz") == 0
or die "perl blew up: $!";
/home/cowens>cat f.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -l

print map { "[$_] " } @ARGV;
/home/cowens>perl t.pl
[foo] [bar] [baz]
