Hi,

You are running the script in taint mode (probably Window -> Preferences
-> Perl EPIC -> Enable taint mode checked). In taint mode it is not allowed
to run external commands without having set the path $ENV{PATH} explicitly.
The following should work:

$ENV{PATH} = "C:\\WINDOWS\\system32";
system("dir");

Or do not use taint mode. On windows taint mode is a pain ...

Hope that helps,
Oliver
