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>.
