: the above works fine and dandy (I think)
: but when I replace the print in the for() with a system call as such
: system "mminfo -a -r \"volume,mediarec,ssid,name\" -q \"location=sun_etl\"
: -V -o tR -c $_ >> out";
: I get a broken pipe and the output from the mminfo command is spewed on the
: console and not into the out file
Try chomp() on $line before you split it. Perl retains the newline, so the last
element in @backint will have a newline at the end of it, which winds up in your
system() command.
