Hi folks. Im seeking your wisdom, please, enlight me. This its a piece of the code im using, its a perl script to run backups from linux servers from everything. The problem its, i want to know if something fails using rsync. I took a look to the Rsync module on CPAN and it would give me the option to catch up the stderr, so it could be nice, but its mandatory that i use a ssh certificate instead a password / login to access the remote rsync server. And perl wrapper rsync module doesnt give this thing. Anyone knows how i can catch back the results of the rsync ? There's another possibility than parse the $_ while i am reading it? 
# MYSQL BACKUP
 my @bk_mysql = qx(/usr/bin/mysql -u $uMy -p$pMy -e 'show databases');
 foreach $1 (@bk_mysql){
        chomp $1;
         $fMy = "mysql_-$1-$tLog";
         $mysqlC ++;
         print "$mysqlC MySQL Database $1\n";
         qx (mysqldump -u $uMy -p$pMy $1 | gzip -9 > $foMy/$fMy.gz );
         print "Compressing file $fMy\n";
         qx (/usr/bin/rsync -avzP -e "ssh -i /root/.ssh/rsyncstrato" $
+foMy/$fMy.gz account-xxxx\@rsync.hidrive.strato.com:/users/account-xx
+xx/backups/mysql/$tLog/ );
         print "Sending Backup to Cloud..\n";
         qx (rm $foMy/$fMy.gz);
         print "Backup file uploaded and deleted $foMy/$fMy\n";
         printf LOG "DB DONE -> $foMy/$fMy\n";
   
   push @mysql_re, $fMy;
   push @mysql_status, @$; 
 
 }
