Your question is a bit unclear. What do you mean by "batch file"?
A regularly scheduled job? In that case you should look into the scheduler
that comes with your OS, e.g. cron (on Unix) or at (on Windows).
Or are you simply asking how to call another program from a Perl script?
Then look into e.g. system() or qx() (same as backticks) or even open() with
a pipe.
Or does calling other programs work fine but you have some specific problem
calling a batch script? In that case please be more specific about the
problem you encounter.

I've read some posts on Perl versus Python and studied a bit of my Python book. I'm a software engineer, familiar with C++ objected oriented development, but have been using Perl because it is great for pattern matching, text processing, and automated testing. Our company is really fixated on risk managnemt and the only way I can do enough testing without working overtime (which some people have ended up doing) is by automating my...

Hi All: I am new in the Perl world. So far I have installed cygwin and Perl 5.8.0 along with Perl DBI and DBD::Oracle modules. NowI am trying to install Perl Tk on my PC (Windows 2K).

I also ran "perl -Mblib demos/widget". It was complaining...

So, I download the latest "stable" tar for perl (5.8.7) and try to compile it on the Solaris 8 (SPARC) box that I administrate. I try all sorts of different switches, but I can't get it to compile. I need it to be compiled with threads. Anyone have any wisdom on how best to do this? Here's a transcript of my latest attempt. It's long; you might want to skip to the bottom, where I try "make" and the fatal errors start happening.

I'm trying to install to php the Perl-1.0.0.tgz package (from http://pecl.php.net/package/perl, enabling one to call perl libraries) to a pre-existing Solaris system. Unfortunately, the attempt fails in a rather dramatic way, spewing out thousands of "relocation remains"... I'm somewhat lost on what to do next, the documentation that came along with the Perl package is somewhat sparse. Anyone have suggestions? % uname -a

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
