@ls = `la -al`;
will do it.
$ls = system("ls -al");
will save the exit status of the command, rather than the output.

Subject: accessing the string from system("ls -al") / browse dir script
I'm trying to put the string from the system("ls -al") into a variable. It
simply prints to the page and puts 1 in the variable.
I wan't to use this variable to determine the permissions for the files on a
linux machine. Is there an easier way?
