I have a Perl program which does something like below:

#!perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $exe = "C:\\project\\set_env_and_run.bat";

my $arg1 = "\\\\Server\\share\\folder1";

my $arg2 = "D:\\output\\folder1";

my $cmd = "$exe \"$arg1\" \"$arg2\"";

my $status = system("$cmd > c:\\tmp\out.txt 2>&1");

print "$status\n";

I am calling this Perl code in an eval block. When invoked, i get the status printed as 0, but the batch file has not actually executed. What would be the reason for this?

Thanks, Jits
