well, i'm guessing, from the error msg that you got that you have:
Too many files specified
what is in $cmd?
are you sure it's a command NT or Cygwin understand?
what happens if you just run the $cmd on a prompt?
why don't you check the return value of open?
if it fails, what's in $! ?
in short, we'll need a bit more information to help you out, but try the
above things first...
hth,
jos
