[Perl] PERL on Windows

[Gabor Szabo]

Giving full path should work.
system "C:\\direcory\\myprog.exe";

don't forget to escape you back-slashes in the path with another back-slash
!

or you can set your PATH 

$ENV{PATH} .= "c:\\directory";  # the directory where myprog can be found
then
system "myprog.exe";
