Hi,
What do I need to do to be able to use semicolons in the system command in
Perl under WinNT?
For example:
$log = system ("cd foo; ls");
This works fine under Win98. But under WinNT, I get nothing. I get nothing
anytime I use semicolon or other punctuation inside the system command. But
single commands work fine. Same holds true for backticks.
Cygwin 20.1, Perl 5.005_03 for Cygwin.
Thanks!
