Win7i\IE9 problem to execute external command in perl script

I am executing perl script which contains statment like
my @out = `$cmd`;
where $cmd is external windows command.
I am not getting output of these command in @out array.
I have faced this issue on Win7(OS)/IE9(browser) platform.
My Temasite version is 7.2
But this things work in Window XP/IE8 browser.
Is this problem related to OS as Win7 is of 64 bit and window xp is of 32 bit,
Which will affect in executing this command?
Could anyone help me on this issue?

This question is not very clear.

How are you executing the Perl script ? Is it a custom menu item ?

I expect this has nothing to do with the Win 7/XP/browser. More likely I expect it is user related. Does the user who is running TS have logon locally access to the TS server ?

Try this:

# my @out = `$cmd`; Commented out. Instead:
my $return = qx($cmd 2>&1); # Redirect STDERR to STDOUT

Command's return will contain both STDOUT and STDERR Streams. Log it out somewhere and take a look.
To be sure, it will not solve your problem but at least you will be able to see what the problem is.

The script is an inline?
Does it depend on any environment variables? That's the usual reason for Perl scripts that work from the command line failing when being called from within a DCT context.

If you search the forums you'll find numerous posts about this issue and the ways to go around resolving it.

we create html file using template .tpl file
to create this file we used the commmand

\iw-home\iw-perl\bin\iwperl.exe

\iw-home\bin\iwpt_compile.ipl -pt "D:\iw-home\custom\mercer\presentation\tpl\survey_participant_body.tpl" -iw_pt-dcr "Y:\default\main\MercerHR\gis\WORKAREA\gis\templatedata\gis\Survey\data\imported\Survey_6807" -iw_include-location "Y:\default\main\MercerHR\gis\WORKAREA\gis" -oenc "UTF-8" -workarea_abs_path "Y:\default\main\MercerHR\gis\WORKAREA\gis" -body_html_abs_path "Y:\default\main\MercerHR\gis\WORKAREA\gis\participants\1501260_participant_list.html" -dcr_body_node "JOB_PARTICIPANTS"

but it's unable to generate html file giving the error
use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==) at (eval 38) line 210.

Kindly suggest a way to execute this command
Please let me know in case you need more information.
