I am not able to provide you the snippet of the code, but yes as far as concept is concerened... you can do the following:

1. Use DirWalk module to run through the directory in which files or sub-folders are placed.
2. For each file, execute iwextattr command.
3. Submit each file, using iwsubmit.

Hi Mav,

To run a CLT, you dont need to have to use any perl module.

 
$set_cmd = "$iwhome/bin/iwextattr -l $filevPath";
print "Command to list attributes is $set_cmd\n";
`$set_cmd`;

Please note, it is not an apostrophe sign.

It's better to use either

my $results = qx($set_cmd 2>&1);

system($set_cmd 2>&1);

- avoid back-ticks as they tend to get confused with single-quotes, use qx() instead - if you want to retrieve output, or use system() if you don't care about output [though you should still check the exit status].

Oh really!!! I thought everyone else who has not shown his/her agreement with Adam's words still rely on my words. :rolleyes:
