System command on Windows

Posted by dorianwinterfeld on 2009-11-04 07:25
OS: Windows 2000 Pro / Server

I have some PLX web scripts that use system() to execute command lines like this:

system('hello.bat');

They used to work, now they all fail with error 256. I have tried and tried debugging this to no avail. My OS is Win2000 running IIS 5.0 and activestate perl 5.8.8. There was no change in my environment or permissions when this happened. All scripts that use system() now fail. Any ideas will be appreiciated.
