Shell Programming and Scripting

hi,

This is perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
in win2000advanced server,...

i have all my perl programs in d drive..
i like to run perl programs from a different drive(ex : c drive..)

that is simple in unix.. but i dont know how to do that in win..

do u know how to do that...

thanks for ur help..

As shown, you can run a Perl script on another drive in the same way:

Code:

D:\Documents and Settings\bernardchan>perl e:\documents\temp\test2.pl
Hello World!

If you have to run a script which depends on other files relative to that dir, you can do a chdir() inside, then the remainder of the script will be relative to that dir:

Code:

chdir "E:\\Documents\\temp";

Hope that I did not misunderstand your question.

thanks once again cbkihong,
got some ideas,.. but still..

in perl, unix,

write a program, give chmod -577 program, set the PATH variable with program's path.
after that we can run the program from anywhere.. i think its correct..

that's what i need...

i tried this:
-------------------------------------
C:\>type d:\hitest.pl
print "HI";

C:\>perl hitest.pl
Can't open perl script "hitest.pl": No such file or directory
----------
C:\>type d:\hitest.pl
chdir "d:\\";
print "HI";

C:\>perl hitest.pl
Can't open perl script "hitest.pl": No such file or directory
----------------------------------------


thanks again in advance,

You can emulate this by messing with PATH and PATHEXT. Start your search from here:
