> Sounds like perl is not starting automatically. Try this: > my $file_path = $Server->MapPath( "/ASPtoPerl/MakeFile.pl" ); > my $exit_status = system_call_test( "perl $file_path" ) / 256; > This calls the perl.exe directly. If you don't have perl.exe > in your servers path, you'll need to complete path to it: > my $exit_status = system_call_test( "c:/perl/bin/perl.exe $file_path" ) > / 256; > Or something like that. > If this doesn't work, show us what prints to the browser. > HTH, > Charles K.
