[tpm] Perl getting the output from .Net apps

[Indy Singh]

The expression in backquotes `bin/Debug/ConsoleApp` is interpreted by Perl then passed to either a Windows exec call or to a Windows command shell.  The syntax has to match what Windows is expecting.  

The syntax is not the same as what you are typing at the prompt since you are using the cygwin shell.  You can test the required syntax by opening a DOS command shell and trying your command there.  

To start with try specifying the full (windows) path to the application, including the extension.  E.g. c:\\some\\dir\\bin\\Debug\\ConsoleApp.exe.  Use back slashes and double them up because they are inside back quotes.

  Hi,  

  I bumped into this strange problem that Perl cannot get the output from .Net apps.

  $ seq 5 | perl -pe 's|^3$|`bin/Debug/ConsoleApp`|e;'
  1
  2

  4
  5

  Boom, it suddenly stops working. 

My first thought (as always when confronted with a Windows problem is...
does the path work (...within Perl) ?
