We package a version of perl with our commercial software product. (yes, yes boo on me for selling closed source; i don't like it either but one has to pay the bills.) Of course, there's no way to know in advance exactly where a client will install our software - as in what directory structure they will use. So I have to write scripts all the time that need to first find perl, and then run the main body of the code. Since I can depend on sh just about everywhere, for Unix I have a sh script which finds perl for me based on some ENV variables that our software always sets and the runs perl using the old exec $PERL -x $0 $* trick, $PERL having been set by the sh portion of the code (I'll include full code below for the curious). What I need is a win32 batch script equivalent of this and I don't even know where to begin. Any win32 peeps out there think they can help? I hope this question is clear enough.... =]

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
