Try this, after turning the perl scrit into a batch file do:<br>
'rename script.bat script.cmd'<br>
<br>

command interpreter changed from 'command.exe' to 'cmd.exe'.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/12/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Michael R. Wolf</b> <<a href="mailto:MichaelRWolf@att.net">MichaelRWolf@att.net
