See qx, exec doesn't return. Sorry, but I don't think this is good advice. Even if it were necessary to run an external `perl`, which it practically never is except maybe in a test suite, `qx` has quite a few caveats.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The answers are here to stay. Anyone else can google a similar question and find your answer valuable. You're never answering just the OP. With that in mind, many long winded threads wouldn't have been started. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]

True, but I doubt the OP will read a longer answer. If that's the case, I'd still prefer that what gets cargo-culted at least contains some best practices `;-P`	[reply] [d/l]
