The problem is probably in your system() command. I would recommend redirecting STDERR to a file to see what messages you are getting.
Try putting: open(STDERR,">error.log") || die "$!\n"; at the beginning of the section with the system commands. If you are not on a Win32 system, then I think it gets a little more complicated because you might have to trap the STDERR and make a separate file handle to save the old STDERR in so that you can put it back later, but this shouldn't be necessary in Windows. -----Original Message----- From: Madhu Reddy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 8:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PERL HANG on WINDOWS AND WAITING FOR TO PRESS ENTER Hi, When i run perl programs, some times it will hang in the middle of program...and when i press <ENTER> then it is going to next step..
