The way you have tried should ideally work:

system("start c:\\temp\\sample.bat");

Is it throwing any error? That would help to find the cause.
Though, you can alternatively use reverse quote( ` ) instead of system command.

`start c:\\temp\\sample.bat`;

Its executing fine now with

`C:\temp\sample.bat`

,but another problem is occuring.....wh en there is some error in the .bat file(sample.bat ) the perl should not execute it,and should throw some error message,but in case of error in the .bat file also,it is executing...... ..Is there any way to capture in the perl code that if there is some error in the sample.bat file then it should throw some error message and should not excute the .bat file
