Perl Command Line within ASP.NET

[homeacademy]

I need to run a perl command line from within VB.Net. The command line looks like this: [quote]myscript.pl-merge-setup=xxx</CODE> So, I have a VB.NET app which does some prelim stuff, and then needs to call the perl app as above. I have tried to do this with a shell statement, eg [quote]Shell("perle:\web\xxx\myscript.pl-merge-setup=xxx")</CODE> The page does not retun any errors, but the perl script does not execute properly. I'm not sure how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think you can spawn a shell because of security reasons.

I'll do more research if that's the case.

Please let me know what you find. If there is another way of doing this (instead of using Shell) please let me know.

I don't think you can spawn any process on our server, i tested using various methods.

Alternative : You can use your vb.net app to make a http call to the perl script.
