Try using backticks instead of system.
my @array = `command line`;

Hi, i'd like to know how i can get a return sting from a command and
pass it
to awk program.
I have tried:
#!/usr/bin/perl
....
system (('tunctl',-u,$buf) | ('awk',print,$2) );
tunctl write a string in STDERR like this:
Set 'tap1' persistent and owned by uid $buf
I like to pass this string to awk and print only 'tap1'.
How can i do this?
Thanks in advance payment to all those that will answer to this
message, Michele.
