Hi.
Can someone explain this to me?
I want to check that a backtick command has executed OK. I thought I could
do that by looking at the $! variable. But I find that if I do this for
example
$output = `pwd` ;
print "$output\n" ;
print "\$! = $!\n" ;
I get
/home/ron
$! = No such file or direc
ris and Windows.)
Thanks again - I'd been struggling with this for ages. (And thanks to the
others who've replied as I've been typing this!)
Ron
