Hi Experts, I am new to perl. I want to cut the last word from command line output from one of the command AND assign that to a variable so that i can use it in my rest of the program. Like as in shell variable =`echo $line| awk -F, '{print $NF}'` please suggest.

Update:

. Thanks Karl, I just gave an example how i was achieving in unix shell. Ok i will try to re-phrase the question. I am expecting like below. Assume below is an system command: "snmpwalk.ovpl -c $string $IP sysName" here windows system command "snmpwalk.ovpl -c $string $IP sysName" will give me output like below. sysName.0 : OCTET STRING- (ascii): USWLS-P-TR03-C4510RE-1.adagnet.net So as said earlier i am expecting something like below.: my $variable = `system (sysName.0 : OCTET STRING- (ascii): USWLS-P-TR03-C4510RE-1.adagnet.net) | cut last word` expected $variable=USWLS-P-TR03-C4510RE-1.adagnet.net
