I want to get the error message from a system call as a text string and not a numeric code. The error I see on the screen is:
cp: cannot create /tmp/dev/fin/test/test.inf: Permission denied but when I check $! for an error string, it is blank. $? does contain an error code, but I'm not sure how I would translate it to a text string. I also tried saving the output to a variable, but it doesn't contain the error message: my $out = `$cmd`; Any suggestions.
