Re: Perl and Eudora

You could write a wrapper script, e.g.,

system("D:/EudoraPro/Eudora.exe");

copy($_,'z:/mail_test') foreach glob 'D:/EudoraPro/*.mbx';
copy($_,'z:/mail_test') foreach glob 'D:/EudoraPro/*.toc';

Then, create a shortcut for the command, perl.exe eudorawrapper.pl and use THAT for starting Eudora.

That doesn't work. The files get copied and everything but Eudora is not starting.	[reply]

If your on windows 2000 or Xp you can add your back up code as a scheduled task, will that work for you?	[reply]

I am running Windows 98 and I am using the Scheduler it provides. If it comes down to it I can use that but I'd like to back up everything after every Eudora use.	[reply]
