Hi all,

Having major problems using !Perl and !AlphaNet because the command line
sent to perl is along the lines of:

perl adfs::drive.$.foo.bar.script.pl ><Wimp$ScrapDir>.KA3E5C4F55

which perl (or, quite possibly UnixLib) barfs at, reporting that:

Filing system ADFS: must be given a filename

Does anyone out there know if there is a way around this?

Cheers,

Glyn.

Thanks to everyone that replied with suggestions. Eventually I managed to
get it working by altering !Perl.!Boot as follows:

Set Alias$@RunType_102 WimpSlot 1024K|m do /<Perl$Dir>.Perl %%*0
Set Alias$Perl WimpSlot 1024K|m do /<Perl$Dir>.Perl %%*0

seems the placing of 'do' is rather critical (been too long since I was
messing about on the RPC :-((( )

Cheers,
Glyn.
