run3

[bylina]

Hi,

I have a problem with IPC Run3.

I use it successfully on Unix but cannot make it run on Windows.

Would you please let me know what I do wrong in the following simple script:

################################################
#!/usr/bin/env perl -w

use strict;
use IPC::Run3;

my @cmd = ("copy", "small.txt", "big.txt");

my $rc = 0;
$rc = run3(\@cmd, \undef, "output.txt", "errors.txt");
print "$rc\n";
###############################################

I always get the following error:

Can't spawn "cmd.exe": No such file or directory at C:\wss\cdev2\wssuite\components\trm\fk71\perl\5.8.6\lib/IPC/Run3.pm line 497.

I've never used Run3 but possibly cmd.exe is not in the expected path? Maybe poke around the .pm file and see if the path is hard code or if it is using the user path. You might hard code it if needed.
