Is there any reason not to just use qx? #!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; chomp(my @files = qx(ls)); print "@files\n";
Hi Chap Just being picky, this will print all of the output lines on a single line separated by spaces. Since you probably want to see them on separate lines, you could either not chomp my @files = qx(ls); print @files; or append newlines on output chomp(my @files = qx(ls)); print "$_\n" foreach @files; Cheers, Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
