Bug 194541 - Dot is a binary executable, not a perl script so we don't need to prefix the system call with the perl binary. There are no more system calls of perl scripts in Bugzilla, so this section can go away.

- <title>System Calls</title>

- <para>In order to get system calls to work on win32's perl, you need
- to tell the windows shell what interpreter to use. This is done by
- changing the <function>system</function> calls. You will need to
- search all of Bugzilla's code for <function>system</function> calls.
- To tell perl your interpreter, it needs to be the first argument to
- the <function>system</function> call. For example, you'll need to
- change:
- </para>
- <programlisting>
-system("$webdotbase","-Tpng","-o","$pngfilename","$filename");
- </programlisting>
- <para>with</para>
- <programlisting>
-system("C:\\perl\\bin\\perl", "$webdotbase","-Tpng","-o","$pngfilename","$filename");
- </programlisting>
-
- <tip>
- <para>The <command>grep</command> command is very helpful in finding
- these <function>system</function> calls, assuming you have the
- <productname class="trade">cygwin</productname> utilities.
- </para>
- </tip>
-
- <note>
- <para>It appears that the only <function>system</function> call
- remaining in the Bugzilla codebase is in
- <filename>showdependencygraph.cgi</filename>. Not changing this
- file will only cause dependency graphs to not function if the
- <option>webdotbase</option> paramater points to a local
- installation of <ulink url="http://www.graphviz.org">GraphViz</ulink>.
