I need it to run a perl script which will execute a java command . Example: in the script it says thefollowing: java -classpath $CLASSPATH myprogram argument1 arg2 The problem is that though echo $CLASSPATH shows the correct classpath to the jar Files , example C:\abc\def\myfile.jar , when the perl script is run it complains: C:abcdefmyfile.jar not found Notice in above the \ was stripped. My java program is compiled with the C:\abc\def\myfiile.jar style of classpath. How can I get this to work ?
