I'm trying to create a mail filter script in perl.  The user will send
mail to the script and the script will hold the mail until it receives
further orders from the script.  Each individual email needs to be
stored in its own file while waiting to be processed.  I want a random
code for the filename to be used for each individual email.  I was
thinking something like this:

date +%N | md5sum

However, while I can call this command using exec(), how do I use the
output in my script?
