perl calling iwdiff

System

iwserver: 5.5.2 Build 20638 Interwoven 20030604 on Windows 2000. I have narrowed the problem in my script down to something like this line. The weird thing is that it works with perl, just not with iwperl. I have only found this issue with iwdiff - any suggestions?

C:\temp>type diff.pl
print `"D:/iw-home/bin/iwdiff" "D:/iw-home/tmp/14-06-2004/jwest.walkDCRs.ipl.210292191.5196.tmp" "D:/iw-home/tmp/14-06-2004/jwest.walkDCRs.ipl.48840344.5196.tmp" 2>&1`;

C:\temp>perl diff.pl

C:\temp>iwperl diff.pl
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

What happens if you run just:
iwperl -v

I.e. the error message may be due to trying to find iwperl - not iwperl having problems processing the "script".

Try changing your diff.pl to


my($file1) = "D:/iw-home/tmp/14-06-2004/jwest.walkDCRs.ipl.210292191.5196.tmp";
my($file2) = "D:/iw-home/tmp/14-06-2004/jwest.walkDCRs.ipl.48840344.5196.tmp";
print `"D:/iw-home/bin/iwdiff" $file1 $file2 2>&1`;

Then run iwperl diff.pl from C:\temp.

So the quotes around the arguments are the problem, but only for iwperl and not a real Perl? I don't understand - wouldn't I have to quote a filename that contained a space? I always quote all command line arguments - only this command and xcopy have had issues with it. I thought the shell interpret all quotes before the command would even see them, but I guess not. If you throught your IWOV implementation was bad, try porting it to Windows.

C:\temp>type diff.pl
my($file1) = "C:/temp/1.txt";
my($file2) = "C:/temp/2.txt";
print `"D:/iw-home/bin/iwdiff" "$file1" "$file2" 2>&1`;
print `"D:/iw-home/bin/iwdiff" $file1 $file2 2>&1`;

C:\temp>iwperl diff.pl

Funny how neither Java nor Perl ever seems to work quite right on Windows, yet those are the primary tools for customizing TeamSite. But I I think this one's a problem with the old botch of iwperl (though the OS is playing into it), since it doesn't happen with a Perl built this millenium.
