Re: diruse is not recognized

Supply the full path to "diruse.exe". Remember to escape the backslashes. Eg:

open(DIRUSE, "c:\\windows\\system32\\diruse.exe . |");

If the path contains spaces, you will need to include double-quotes to contain them.

I know this may be a bit redundant information, but to ensure you do not forget any backslash you can also write it with single slash which makes it a bit more readable. Windows can handle single slashes - at least since XP/2000.

my $dirUseResult =  qx(c:/windows/system32/diruse.exe);

Cheers!
