#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $os = $ENV{ "OS" }; # indicates Windows os
my $Exec = '../Crypt/';
my $scriptPath = '../Scripts/';
my $encrypath = '../EncryptedScripts/';
my $fileName = '*.st';
my $fileSpec = "${scriptPath}${fileName}";
my $cmdString = '$Exec -i $file -o $outfile -e';

if( defined( $os ) && ( $os =~ /^Window/ ))
{

$Exec = "..\\Crypt";
$scriptPath = "..\\Scripts\\";
$encrypath = "..\\EncryptedScripts\\";
}

print $fileSpec . "\n";

my @files = <${fileSpec}>;
my @results;

print "Before the For Loop \n";

foreach my $file (@files) {

my $outfile = $encrypath . $file;
$outfile = $outfile . 'e';

whats not working? whats working?

so im guessing my $encrypath isnt working? in windows OS i think the path to the folders must be absolute meaing c:/some/folder/to/somewhere not '../folder/' but i could be wrong.

The code that you posted is not the code that you ran. I does not even compile!

I recommend that you print $cmd before you execute it. If it is exactly what you expect, try that command from your command line. If it does not work there, it is not a perl problem at all. If the command is not formed correctly, you will be able to ask the right question.
Good Luck,
Bill
