System Calls 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 system calls. You will need to search all of Bugzilla's code for system calls. To tell perl your interpreter, it needs to be the first argument to the system call. For example, you'll need to change: -system("./processmail", $id, $exporter); +system("$webdotbase","-Tpng","-o","$pngfilename","$filename"); with -system("C:\\perl\\bin\\perl", "processmail", $id, $exporter); - - Notice that the ./ is also removed. +system("C:\\perl\\bin\\perl", "$webdotbase","-Tpng","-o","$pngfilename","$filen +ame"); Tip The grep command is very helpful in finding these system calls, assuming you have the cygwin utilities. + + Note + + It appears that the only system call remaining in the Bugzilla + codebase is in showdependencygraph.cgi.
