- Has anyone gotten the auto perl invocation to work as documented in the
- perl os2/readme.os2 file? The suggestion was to add a line:
-
- EXTPROC /path/perl.exe -S
-
- as the first line of a .cmd file that was actually a perl program.
-
- And indeed, os2's "help extproc" shows this should invoke a alternate
- shell (presumably to execute the rest of the .cmd file) but all that
- happen's is I get a message:
-
- Can't execute <myfile>.cmd.
-
- The best I've been able to accomplish is to add the name of another
- perl script file as an argument to the EXTPROC statment and then perl
- runs that program but that doesn't seem to be the point of EXTPROC or
- any better than just having a .cmd file that runs perl straightforward.
-
- Thanks for any suggestions,
-
