Greetings. I'd like to trigger an application to open ( Acrobat Reader ), and *not* freeze my perl app while it's open. Under Linux, I do:
system ( "evince /path/to/pdf.pdf &" ); The ampersand does what I need. This doesn't work under Windows. Is there a cheap & nasty workaround? -- Daniel Kasak IT Developer NUS Consulting Group Level 5, 77 Pacific Highway North Sydney, NSW, Australia 2060 T: (+61) 2 9922-7676 / F: (+61) 2 9922 7989 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://www.nusconsulting.com.au -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
