Heiko,
> $java = open (GSM, "$config{'jdk.bin')/bin/java"|);
You've got a typo here. Specifically, a '|' that is outside
the double-quotes. Note that in your working example
below, the '|' is within the double-quotes.
> $java = open (GSM, "d:/skyva/jre/bin/java |";
You see?
Little mistakes like this are *soo* easy to make!
HTH,
