I have this command  that reads logfiles.However, if the command isn't successful it 
gives me a standard error.

 my @logData= `program1 -log $data1 $data2`; 


The error looks like this:

program1: '//mnt/leah/dir/': The system cannot find the file specified.

*How do I read that error for the string "The system cannot find the file specified" 
and skip the file if it doesn't exist???


I have looked in books, but I haven't found very good examples.  I have tried to take 
@logData  and put it to a file handle (PH, $logData) so
I can read it in a while loop. Suggestions much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
