Hi,
I am executing a shell script using the 'system' command from a PERL
script. I want to grab the return code(output) from the shell script and
validate it in my PERL script. Cam someone please explain me how to do
that.
Thanx..

You could do something like this:
$check_return = system "runthis";
print "\'runthis\' exited with code \'$check_return\'\n" if ($check_return != 0);

shellscript
You could do something like this:
Another way to do it (specially when output is more than one line) is
to open the output as a file handle:
open CMDOUT, "runthis |";
while() {
# Do whatever you want
print "Got the expected output\n" if /^expected output/;
}
