Hello folks, We've been trying to run post-processing jobs on v8.5, 8.6, and 9.0. We've had intermittent success. The systems don't seem to care whether we call our exe from a batch or directly. In v9.0 it doesn't even appear to attempt to process, in v8.6 and below it appears to run, but works...

Hello folks, The office is moving a few HUNDRED Excel spreadsheets from one file server to another. Most, if not all of these sheets have links to other spreadsheets, sometimes hundreds of links. The links all include the server name, format= \\<NTServer>\file\path\to\Excel.xls We are moving...

Hello folks, this one SHOULD be simple, but I'm being dense: The code: use Win32::NetAdmin; my @lou; Win32::NetAdmin::LoggedOnUsers('',@lou); print @lou; The result: Usage: Win32::NetAdmin::LoggedOnUsers(server, $userRef) The question: What am I doing wrong? Other than working in Win32... I...

Should be simple, I'm just an idiot. I have a file I'm trying read, no problems there. I dump it into an array and skim through line by line, no problem there. I try to match an expression to the line- not _usually_ a problem there. The issue is, the lines have spaces between each character...

Hey folks, anyone seen or heard of this one? I ftp an application from a remote site to the server running a perl application (Net::FTP). The application then won't run. Win32 (NT box) platform. Suggestions as to why this is happening appreciated. I'm not doing anything fancy, open ftp...

Hey folks, Quick question, I hope. Under Win32, how can I verify exclusive file access? I want to wait for a file that is being accessed by another application to close, before I kick off another command. Any suggestions appreciated!

Hello folks, Hopefully a simple question, but likely not. Should it be possible to write a script to be called by an external task scheduler that sends a ctrl-alt-del? I've been looking at various Win32 modules and it looks as if the pieces are there, but I'm a total novice at perl so I can't...

Hello folks, I searched and didn't find an answer so I'll throw it out there. I have several NT4.0 servers scattered across the country. The company wants to add a program to the list of scheduled tasks to clean up the databases. So far so good, right? Here's the catch, the application doesn't...
