Curiously, this works on my Microsoft Windows computer. It opens the file named foo.txt in Notepad.
C:\>perl -e "system('foo.txt')"
C:\>assoc .txt
.txt=txtfile
C:\>ftype txtfile
txtfile=%SystemRoot%\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE %1
C:\>
I've never written a Perl script that opens a text file in Notepad (or any interactive text editor), and I can't imagine why anyone else would.

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).
