ClamWin Free Antivirus :: View topic - Problem executing clamwin from a Perl script

Posted: Mon Sep 26, 2011 10:08 pm

Hi all

i'm trying to run clamwin (clamscan) from a perl script on a Windows 2k3 Server.
And when i write "i'm trying" i mean "i'm failing".

Here's what i do:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
if (@ARGV != 1) {
print "Usage: clamscan.pl <filename>\n";
exit;
}

$VirusDB = '"c:/Documents and Settings/All Users/.clamwin/db"';
my ($FILE) = @ARGV;

$cmd = '"c:/Program Files/ClamWin/bin/clamscan" --stdout --no-summary -d ' . $VirusDB . ' ' . $FILE;

$input = `$cmd`;
$input =~ m/^(.+)/;
$error_message = $1;

print "$error_message\n";

Now if i run that script from the command line, it get the following:

Quote:

C:\>"c:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/modules/mod_security2
/clamscan.pl" c:\install.exe

W00ps!! you have something strange with this file
(maybe crt versions mismatch)
LibClamAV Error: magic_scandesc: Can't fstat descriptor 3
c:\install.exe: Can't get file status ERROR

C:\>

The script calls the following command line:
"c:/Program Files/ClamWin/bin/clamscan" --stdout --no-summary -d "c:/Documents a
nd Settings/All Users/.clamwin/db" c:\install.exe

Now the "funny" thing is, when i enter the identical command directly into the command line, i get this:

Quote:

C:\>"c:/Program Files/ClamWin/bin/clamscan" --stdout --no-summary -d "c:/Documen
ts and Settings/All Users/.clamwin/db" c:\install.exe
c:\install.exe: OK

C:\>

Both command lines are identical. Both are called from the same user account with the same rights. What could make clamwin behaving differently? Does anyone has any idea?

Thanx a lot for your help.
