in thread return a variable from command line execution to perl

Thank you Corion. I figured out a different way. use backticks and then echo the variable at the end. $dbserv=`call set_prop.cmd db.server.name dbserver & echo %dbserver%` This worked fine.

    If you'd like some nicer error handling for the backticks, see capture from IPC::System::Simple.
