I have to maintain a perl script, and encounter the following section: can anyone help me to understand what is the purpose of ". 2>&1 |" ? This is a AIX machine. Thanks.
unless (@errors) { open(FILEHANDLE, "$PATH_TO_WSADMIN -f $tmpFile ". ' 2>&1 |'); while (<FILEHANDLE>) { if ($_ =~/ERROR/) { push(@errors, $_); } } close (FILEHANDLE); } __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
