in reply to Re^2: How to pass directory variable using IPC::System::Simple
in thread How to pass directory variable using IPC::System::Simple

Hi bill5262,

I made a mistake in my node, which I've now fixed, apologies!

The line "use IPC::System::Simple;" should be "use IPC::System::Simple 'system';", because otherwise it has no effect, meaning that the default system function is called instead of IPC::System::Simple's version of system which has better error handling.
