Are you running this as a ASP file? This type of syntax should be run though the ASP.DLL as an Active Server page.
This works for me as a ".asp" page. James Howarth Incomnet Communications Inc.

Using backticks or qx in an ASP or a .pl under perlis.dll hangs the script and IIS never returns anything. .pl files work correctly under perl.exe both on the command line and under IIS. system() seems to work fine. <% @LANGUAGE=PerlScript %> <% $hostname = `hostname`; $Response->Write("$hostname"); %> Or print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; $hostname = `hostname`; print $hostname; Any help appreciated.
