The output from backtick on NT (`...`) isn't showing up sometimes.
o Within my cgi\, the output of backtick vanishes\, but if I invoke the exact same command from a stand-alone perl program run from the console\, the data shows up.
Yet... within the cgi\, if I say
my $dir = `dir`;
all is well -- I get the output. Strange!
The command that's failing now within CGIs looks like this:
my $cmd = 'C:\progra~1\interw~1\foobar.exe 123'; my $output = `$cmd`;
This didn't happen with an earlier perl build I did; I'm not sure if I've done something wrong\, or if it's an NT-perl bug.
I've enclosed the output of perl -V and my %ENV (see below): Any thoughts/ideas/pointers greatly apprecited.
Sincerely\, - Jon Cox
PS: I saw some rumblings about something seemingly related to this on p5p (Paul.Moore@uk.origin-it.com & gsar@engin.umich.edu) but I didn't see a solution anywhere.
