STDOUT to a file

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have the following line of code:

open (INPUT, "net use |")  || die $!;
[download]

I'm working on a windows platform, does anyone know how I can redirect that default output from the screen to a secified file?, or even better grab a list of active network drives and write to a file Thanks

tsk tsk Super Search is your friend I believe your looking for this If you want to live dangerous you could use open3 but read the warning. I've been using it heavily and have had only a few problems (mysterious hangs) that I can't even say for sure are from my use of open3 - ( read the entire thread and comments as most of the code there is irrelevant). coreolyn	[reply]
