use system("clear")
system displays output to the terminal where ` (backtick) returns the output
to the perl script not the terminal.

Subject: How to issue CLEAR command from Perl
Invoking a Perl script from a TN3270 terminal (Linux/390)
Want to issue the shell "clear" command to clear the screen.
Using Bash shell 1.14.7(1)
"clear" works ok from the command line.
Does not clear the screen when issued from the script. Displays 1
instead
Have tried these "syntaxes" (if that's a word)
my $x = `clear`;
my $x = qx(clear);
`clear`;
Thanks,
Hewlett Pickens
