I usually do not use system or command ticks.
I always pipe the output to STDOUT if I wish to manipulate the output of
any system
command. Alternatively, you could redirect output to a TEMP file, then
read from that file,
but "piping" is more efficient.
open MY_STDOUT, "{system command} | " or die "\n\nError running {some
system command}\n\n\n";
