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

Tried that but it still won't work. Doh! Stupid bug :\

I'd run this test script below -

#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my $vplan_parent_path = "\/pdd\/qes\/vsuites\/vplan";


system("perl $vplan_parent_path\/vplan_all.pl") == 0
or die "perl blew up: $!";


And the o/p got is -

vp_all: USAGE: perl vplan_all.pl <Version> <Build> <File_name_to_be_created>

perl blew up: No such file or directory at test2.pl line 8.


Interesting thing is, while perl locates the second perl prog
successfully - it still calls die after that.


Anyways, gotta leave for friday (I'm on the other side of the world :))
Thx,
Alex
