Hi,

Hello,

I've a very basic question for clarification.

1.c:/script1 has below lines
$ENV{PERL_ROOT} ='D:/';
open(fh,'perl script2.pl |');
$x=<fh>;
close fh;
print $x;

2. Script2 has just one line
 print "hello";

When I execute the script 1, it doesn't execute or find script2.
It works fine, if I give complete path.

Any idea, why its happening so.. ?

any pointers to some documentation, how PERL_ROOT really works is also welcome.

perldoc perlrun

       PERL_ROOT (specific to the VMS port)
                   A translation concealed rooted logical name that contains
                   perl and the logical device for the @INC path on VMS only.
                   Other logical names that affect perl on VMS include
                   PERLSHR, PERL_ENV_TABLES, and SYS$TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL but
                   are optional and discussed further in perlvms and in
                   README.vms in the Perl source distribution.


So, are you running your programs on the VMS operating system?
