Executing a Perl Command

[Pando]

I want to ask how can i execute or call dos2ux or rm command inside perl?

Herewith is my part of the script:

datapath="/test/parset/data_files/finaltest/Temp"
npath="/temp/SAMPLE"
ExePath="/usr/bin"
perl="/opt/perl/bin"
cd $datapath
ls -l *.TDF |awk '{print $9}' |while read FILE
do
perl -e '$PerlVar=$ENV{Var};$PerlVar=~ m/^[0-9][0-9]*[\.[0-9][0-9]*]{0,1}$/g;if (pos($PerlVar)) {exec("$ExePath/dos2ux $FILE > $npath/$FILE")} else {exec "$ExePath/rm $FILE"}'
done

When I execute it, it displays an error:

sh: /: Cannot create the specified file.
sh: /: Cannot create the specified file.

Maximum point for all correct replies.

might not be the reason, but
perl="/opt/perl/bin" then
perl -e ....

maybe your not using the version of perl you think you are.

you might check your quoting, double quotes inside of single quotes.

Hi c,

I think the problem lies in this area:

{exec("$ExePath/dos2ux $FILE > $npath/$FILE")}

I dont know if i use the right command (system or exec) to execute the dos2ux command.

Am very new to perl and through searching in this forum found other solutions in perl "system" command by the other in this forum!
