I can't seem to get any results back from compiling a perl progam from
another perl program via the backtick method. My understanding that the
output of the backtick command returns the results of the command
executed into an array. And in the past I've used the backtick method
successfully for getting output of the ls command.
Following is an extract from my program
=======================================================
my($filename) = "/home/blahblah/cgi-bin/ifgen/ifgen.cgi
my($command) = "/usr/bin/perl -c $filename";
print "command[$command]<br>";
my(@results) = `$command`;
my $len = @results;
print "len[$len]<br>";
print "results of compile: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<br>";
=======================================================
And this is the output I get ...
----------------------------------------------------------------
command[/usr/bin/perl -c /home/blahblah/cgi-bin/ifgen/ifgen.cgi]
len[0]
results of compileresults[]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
TIA

P.S. And I will try to break my habit of TOP POSTING :-)
