in reply to System() or the like
Um, I am surprised nobody has mentioned qx//. I tend to prefer qx{ foo } over backticks because it is much easier to see at high resolution.
Also, several shell programming books I have read say that the use of backticks is, er, deprecated. They prefer to use $(), which qx{} somewhat resembles.
Just my too sense.
