Hi. I'm seeing if anyone can shed light on whether Perl can do what
I'm trying to accomplish and possibly reference a good starting point
or existing module.
I'm running Windows XP-SP1 and ActiveState Perl 5.8.0 build 806. Can
Perl monitor a given directory and force any executables in that
directory to believe that it's actually in the root directory?
I hope this example make sense. Assume we have directory
"c:\perl\temp" and in that directory there is an executable "test.exe"
which when launched will create a directory "..\newdir"
Under normal circumstances, if you ran "test.exe" it would create
directory "c:\perl\newdir" but what I'd like to do is run a perl
script and tell it to monitor "c:\perl\temp" so that the directory and
any files in it will believe they are in the root directory. Then when
"test.exe" is ran it will actually create "c:\perl\temp\newdir"
instead.
Thank you for your time,
Phil Jacobson
