@districts = qw/ elldev elldev2 icedev prodev /; $app = "M:\\Path\\app.exe ";
foreach $dist ( @districts ) { print $app, $dist,"\n"; # modifying this to a system call like system( $app, $dist ); } I am going to change the print statement above with a system one so that $app will run with the @districts one after another. What I would like to do is add a print statement before each one runs like: NOW UPDATING ELLDEV... NOW UPDATING ELLDEV2... etc. for each district... How would I go about that?
