-----Original Message----- From: Chuck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2001 3:42 PM To: PERL-CGI List Subject: Easy way to get output from system() I have several CGI's that use system() to get various OS details. What is the most reliable way to glean this information after using this command: For example: #!/bin/perl system("ls -l /tmp") How can I get that data?
