Nkuvu,
I would guess that this is 1 step short of being what is desired ultimately. The output likely needs to be split (by either horizontal or vertical whitespace).
my $command = "/usr/local/some/command";
my $result = `$command`;
my @array = split /\n/ , $result;
Otherwise
the entire result ends up in slot 0 of the array you will have no control over how the output is stored into the array.
Cheers - L~R
Update: If the desired outcome is to split on newlines, then there is no need to store the result into a temporary scalar and split yourself as
japhy points out below.
