mcarlson has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm trying to run a relativly simple command via system(), but it seems it is not piping the output. Basically I'm trying to do this:
system("find $home[$i]$dir -user $UID -print | xargs -n 1 chown -h $NE +WUID");
When it runs, chown prints out an error saying its missing an argument.

Any pointers?

Thanks,
Mike C
