How to make an external call work when scheduling a PERL script through "Scheduled Tasks" on WIN2k?

Joe Bloggs, Colin Thomsen, Ryan,
External calls (I presume you mean system or backticks calls) should
work for scheduled tasks if you ensure the following:
- You provide the right user/password to run the scheduled task.
Unfortunately when you test scheduled tasks by running them manually,
they don't use this username/password, so it is harder to test this. For
domain users, the username should be DOMAIN\username
- You provide the full path for the external call. For example, you
could run a program in c:\stuff using system("c:\stuff\program.exe");
- Remember that scheduled tasks can run while you are not logged on, so
if the external command is on a mapped drive eg. H:, it may not be
accessible. You can avoid this problem by using the network path
directly eg. \\homeserver\
- You don't try to run a command which requires a GUI or user input
- Provide any environment variables in your script that the external
command requires
