Thank you both! Kevin, yours worked well; Gannon, thanks for the tips and thoughtful walk-through. I never took coursework in Perl so I have gaping holes in my knowledge and, I forget e.g., about "my".
Can either of you tell me how in the subroutine I can retrieve the name of the array variable I passed in? I need to be able to refer to the literal, "fruitArray ".
Thanks.

Jeff, DOS should change to the directory specified in the perl command. In my case it doesn't. It just stays where it was before running the script. Thanks....Leave a comment:

Perl chdir problem

Then in I call the perl script which just has this:Code:path %path%;c:\perl\[whichever]
[code=perl]
$dirLocation ='c:\[whatever]';
