Try doing something like
my @a = qw( ... );
print join "\n", @a, "";
then you can see what happens.
You wil also see that $variables doesn't get interpolated in
qw(). :)
system (qw( /usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/piomisc_ext mkpq_remote_ext -q),
$queue, '-h', "$newhost.$domain.ko.com", qw(-r jfsrvrsap -t bsd
-d), $qname, "Jetforms NT Server TEMPORARY");
would work, but then it's a bit messy. =)
Remember that => can be used instead of a , here, so you could also
do something like,
system ('/usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/piomisc_ext',
'mkpq_remote_ext',
'-q' => $queue,
'-h' => "$newhost.$domain.ko.com",
...
);
