I got it working now.

in reply to Running a C Program within Perl.

Thanks to dmmiller2k and all of the others who helped me with this. The problem was that perl was looking for a bourne shell program and I was trying to run a korne shelle script. Once again, I will NOT make that mistake ever again. I feel both knowledgable and empowered. Thanks perl monks....

Happy new Year to everyone.

You're quite welcome. Lesson for the day: never field a shell script without a shebang line! dmm You can give a man a fish and feed him for a day ... Or, you can teach him to fish and feed him for a lifetime	[reply]

For the record, I think a lot of difficulty figuring out this problem stemmed from the fact that you kept referring to the target as a "C program" when it was in fact a shell script.	[reply]
