Hi Monks,

I have a bother thing, I try my best to find answer for a whole day to solve it.

My demand like thing, I want to call a xterm to execute the "ls" command. I find monks have follow idea:

my $pid= fork();
unless($pid){
exec "xterm -e "ls > log";
}

[download]

but our xterm is a special command that it use "-e" alreay, that is say we can't use the method above(exec "xterm -e "ls > log";)

.

1.I want to use pipe, socket, background process and so on to realize it, but I have no idea.

2.for this case, mustn't the xterm called pop up, and it must run as ground process?
