This is one of the reasons why I deplore command-line Perl - because the format depends enormously on the command shell being used. The example was for a Unix shell, but with Windows command prompt only double-quotes will suffice to delimit a single parameter that contains space characters. So perl -MIPC::Open2 -le 'print "ok"' passes the string 'print to Perl, which then complains because the 'program' is malformed. With this restriction it is necessary to use the qq// form of double-quotes, so you would need to write perl -MIPC::Open2 -le "print qq/ok/" Camelbox is (probably) fine :) HTH, Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
