how to run multiple lines in a single batch file

[pavanponnapalli]

hi,
I have got a batch file where i have written the following modules from
CPAN:

ppm install DBI
ppm install DBD::mysql
ppm install Config::Properties
ppm install Net::SMTP
ppm install IO::Socket
ppm install Log::Handler
ppm install File::Find
ppm install File::Copy
ppm install Parse::AccessLogEntry

I have written these lines inside InstPerlMod.bat
when i am running the batch file in the command prompt as InstPerlMod.bat ,
only first line is executing. i.e ppm install DBI. All the remaining lines are not executing . Why so? how to make other lines execute??

Well, there has t be a reason it isn't continuing. Is it that the installation is waiting for some input? That all that I can think of. Try re-directing the output of the batch file to a log and see what is going on.

Regards,

Jeff

PPM is actually a batch file. When a batch file calls another, it will not return from the call.

If you put a CALL before each PPM, then the script will work.

i.e.
call ppm install DBI
call ppm install DBD::mysql

etc.
