Title: Capturing the output of a sytem() command

Not sure if you can with system() but you can with backticks:

 

my $sys_call = `echo hi there`;
print "sys_call=$sys_call\n";

Subject: Capturing the output of a sytem() command

Am I able to capture the output of a system call?

Currently, I route the output to a temporary file,
then read the contents in when the call is done.

I'd rather not make a temp file.
