Hi Daniel
I think the qx command will do what you want. It's described in perldoc
perlop
An example of it in use is
perl -e '$res=qx/date/;print $res;'

Hello everyone!
I'm learning perl and I need some help.
I want to write a script that execute commands into a linux terminal
and catch the results but I don't know how to do this.
Example: I want a script try to create a new user, but it has to
verify if the user is created before do it. If the user was already
created the script has to print a message for user informing something
like this "user already created"
Somebody has a tip for me?
PS: Sorry by my English. I'm not a good speaker... I'm learning yet.
A big hug and thanks for all.
Daniel
