The best way to assign the return value of a system call is to use

Subject: Get the result from "system" Call
Dear all,
When I am using the "system" command
system 'tail','-n', $get, $Alarm_File;
The result always display in the monitor. It is failed to assign the
result
into a variable.
Is it a methos to use its result inside the same program?
Thanks a lot
Kan
