All of this will work if you specify your command as
perl gettag.pl -q $TagName
instead of just
gettag.pl -q $TagName
Shortcuts and associations are often handy, but
you have to remember that they are just that,
and keep in mind that they can't be used everywhere.

I want to execute "gettag.pl -q TagName" and capture the output of
the
command, I have tried different ways, but no luck!
The "gettag.pl -q TagName" will return one "1" if it's true, the
TagName
exist in the Tagdb, else will return zero "0", so I would like to
capture
the "1" and the "0"
1- open(FOO, "gettag.pl -q $TagName |");
while (<FOO>) {
chop;
print $_;
}
* Nothing happens here?
2- $Tag = system ("gettag.pl -q $TagName") ;
print "Tag: $Tag";
* Two things happen here:
A- If true will print to the screen
1 --> from the call to system
Tag:0 --> from print
B- if not true will print to the screen
0 --> from the call to system
Tag:0 --> from print
But I could not capture it into a variable that I can manipulate
3- @Gettag_Return = `gettag.pl -q $TagName` ;
foreach $get_line (@Gettag_Return) {
print "$get_line";
}
* Nothing happen
I have used all those techniques in the past and I know they should
work!
Am I missing something?
Thanks for any advice.

open(FOO, "foo.exe| 2>&1");
# adding '2>&1' will get you what foo.exe writes to STDERR too,
# not just STDOUT
# An alternative if you're not expecting lots of lines is the
simpler :
@foo_return = `foo.exe` ;
# Note : The above uses backticks, not single quotes.
# Each element of @foo_return now contains one line of foo.exe's
# output (including the newline/carriage return char.).
>(Note: I've assumed this works on Perl-Win32. I've only used it on
Unix.)
It does work on WIN32.
