Rotem Gabay

Hi gurus,
I worte a small perl scripts , and when I tried to run the system command :
system ( "source ./profile ") ;

I recieved the error :
Can't exec "source": No such file or directory at ..

The file exists , and when I run it on bash it works .
Any ideas ?

Regards ,

Have you tried putting the full path to the profile file in there and see if that works? Also, are you running this by hand or from Cron?

If it is from Cron then the absolute paths are definitely needed.
