Hey there. Thanks for the reply. I actually was pointed to perldoc.com, where I found an alphabetical list of all the built-in functions.

I use the ` marks that is accent marks before and after the desired command. the variable $? will hold the return code from it and if you put a "$variable = " (without the quotes) in front of the command, the output from that command that would normally go to STDOUT will be captured in the $variable. I think there may be an actual exec() function as well - not sure though. On Mon, Dec 15, 2003 at 10:16:30PM -0500, igueths at comcast.net wrote: > Hi all.
