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,

John
