setting environment variables, then running perl script on Win32

Tension

Hi.

I have a Perl script that starts a build process (plus a lot of other things). The build process needs a few environment variables set. This is done automatically in a buildEnv.bat script supplied by the build system vendor.

My first idea was to write a .bat scrpt that first calls the buildEnv.bat script and then calls the perl script. This does not seem to work since the perl script never executes.

The .bat file looks like this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
C:\Tornado\host\x86-win32\bin\torVars.bat
 
perl run_make_and_post_processing.pl --input project_config.ini

What are the alternatives?

OS: Windows XP SP2
Perl: Vanilla Perl

The solution is to prefix the lines with "call". See below.

File something.bat:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
call C:\Tornado\host\x86-win32\bin\torVars.bat
 
call perl run_make_and_post_processing.pl --input project_config.ini
