Hi,

I try to call wget using system like this:

system("wget -O /dev/null", "http://janeden.org/test/file.txt";);

This does not work:

Can't exec "wget -O /dev/null": No such file or directory at ./wgetrec.pl line 6.

Ok, so how about this:

system("wget", "-O /dev/null http://janeden.org/test/file.txt";);

No go:

wget: missing URL

Without additional options,

system("wget", "http://janeden.org/test/file.txt";);

works fine.

How can I pass an option to system's first argument in a setting like this?

(I know I can use a module instead of calling wget, but this is a more general issue.)

Thanks,

Jan
