Your current working directory is probably not where you think
it is. Try using the full path name. But first, see if you get an
error message ($!) from this:
<%@ Language="PerlScript" %>
<%
use strict;
use warnings;
our( $Response );
my $exit_status = system_call_test( 'MakeFile.pl' ) / 256;
sub system_call_test {
my $call = shift;
$Response->Write( "Executing this: '$call'<br><br>" );
my $status = system( $call );
$Response->Write( "'system' returned: '$!'<br>" );
return $status;
}
%>
