Unable to execute git command in Perl

Question

Hi! I have no problem running

git log --grep="cherry picked" --all > cherrypicklog.txt

from the command line. However it failed to execute in Perl.

my $result = `git log --grep="cherry picked from commit" --all > cherrypicklog.txt`;

git is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

What am I missing? Thank you.

I don't know much perl at all but I think this is just a general case of git not being in the PATH environment from your perl script. Try using an absolute path:

my $result = `/path/to/bin/git log --grep="cherry picked from commit" --all > cherrypicklog.txt`;
