    That's not a doubt, that's inadequate research on a new and complex subject.

    At your command prompt type, "perldoc perlfaq8", or online, visit perlfaq8. Certainly that will raise more questions, which should lead to more research. When you hit a dead end, feel free to ask here.

    Please tell us what's wrong with the examples you get when googling.

    What have you tried?

    Beside the advice given by LanX and davido please see qx and system.

      And also exec and the back ticks : `...`

        OK Laurent - then also the deluxe edition: IPC::Run ;-)
