Hello,

I am trying to use this two line script. The command by itself works,
when I run this script, I get error message:
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./
find_date.pl line 8.

line 8:  my $file_to_print = system "ls -lrt /test/*log | tail -1 |
awk {'print $9'}";
          print $file_to_print;

then after the error message an erroneous output, showing the correct
file but with all the fields...
how Do I get the script to function as if I where to implement the
command directly.
Thanks,

ken
