IPC::Run::Win32Process(3)                  User Contributed Perl Documentation


NAME
       IPC::Run::Win32Process -- deliver nonstandard command lines via
       IPC::Run.

SYNOPSIS
          use File::Spec ();
          use IPC::Run qw(run);
          use IPC::Run::Win32Process ();
          use Win32 ();

          $find_exe = File::Spec->catfile(Win32::GetFolderPath(Win32::CSIDL_SYSTEM),
                                          'find.exe');
          run(IPC::Run::Win32Process->new($ENV{COMSPEC}, q{cmd.exe /c echo ""}),
              '|', IPC::Run::Win32Process->new($find_exe, q{find_exe """"""}),
              '>', \$out);

DESCRIPTION
       This class facilitates executing Windows programs that don't use
       standard command line parsing rules <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-
       us/cpp/cpp/main-function-command-line-args#parsing-c-command-line-
       arguments>.  Notable programs having nonstandard rules include cmd.exe,
       cscript.exe, and Cygwin programs called from non-Cygwin programs.
       IPC::Run will use the two strings, verbatim, as the lpApplicationName
       and lpCommandLine arguments of CreateProcessA().  This furnishes
       unfiltered control over the child process command line.

FUNCTIONS & METHODS
       new
              IPC::Run::Win32Process->new( $lpApplicationName, $lpCommandLine );
              IPC::Run::Win32Process->new( $ENV{COMSPEC}, q{cmd.exe /c echo ""} );

           Constructor.
