I am trying to run the following system() command. It seems as Perl is not able to handover $POLICYNAME to the Unix shell and that the shell gets a problem with the strings - modify and -inactive as they contain a minus (-). Is there a way to run the command
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpplinfo $POLICYNAME -modify - inactive from a Perl script ? (..) open(RDME, "$COMMAND |") or die "Error in: $!\n"; while (<RDME>) { my $POLICYNAME = $_; my @args = ("/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpplinfo $POLICYNAME -modify -inactive"); system(@args); } close(RDME); (..) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
