any guess why the error message

[prashant_ec2003]

one of the lines in my script is
open(FH,"|system(dir) > E:\\a\\temp111.txt");

whenever i run perl <script-name>.it says bad command or file name .

but fewdays back it had worked well and the file temp111.txt was
created.but if i try to run the code again after deleting the
temp111.txt now it is not working .

Any idea or suggestions are welcome

Thanks

You've either deleted Perl from your system or your environment has changed
and perl is not in your path.

Try typing "system(dir)" by hand at the command prompt.

Do you get the same message?

If so then your problem has nothing to do with Perl.
