Hello Monks

i am writing a perl script to do small automation for my application. which require applcation's command to be run. first i use it in sub and it works well but next when i use inside the for loop it does not. can someone tell me what wrong i am doing.

 sub ReadPolicies { # based on the below command it reads values in ar
+ray

my ($type) = @_;
my @Policies = `/opt/OV/bin/opctemplate -l | grep -i $type | awk '{pri
+nt \$2}'`;
return (@Policies);

}

#MAIN
My @FailoverPolicies = &ReadPolicies(DBSPI);

For (my $i=0; $i < @FailoverPolicies; i++) {
Print "/opt/OV/bin/opctemplate -e" . " " . $FailoverPolicies[$i], "\n"
+;
$output= `/opt/OV/bin/opctemplate –e $FailoverPolicies[$i]`; # here i 
+expect this command read each value from the array and take action, -
+e to enable

}
