you are putting the perl script as the name of the command
you can do something like: rawSystem "perl" ["-e","print \"testing ...\n\";" ]
this is equivalent to call in the shell: perl -e "print \"testing ...\";"
(sorry Hong I din't put reply to all in the fist mail)

The program can run, but generates no output at all. Can someone tell me any other tricks which might be missing? (Do we need to use pipe here?)

Thanks,
