I have the following script which runs UltraEdit but I keep getting an 
error. I checked the path and it is correct.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
#
{
print ' ------------------------------------------------------------',"\n";
print '%Loading UltraEdit...',"\n";
system("D:\ultraedit\uedit32.exe netlog.txt");

exit 0;
}


Output:
======

C:\perl load.pl
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
%Loading UltraEdit...
Bad command or file name
