Hi,

Just to solve a problem of a system command not executing in a perl script triggered thru mail.But works if it executed as a cgi or comman line
I just created a script that will just output the contents of the system command .I want to capture this contents in a perl script. How will i do it ? I just replicated some codes on net that doesnt work 

        use LWP::Simple;
        use LWP::UserAgent;
        use HTTP::Request;
        use HTTP::Response;
        use HTML::LinkExtor; 
$URL="http://www.perl.com/";
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();

$content=$ua->get($URL);
use Data::Dumper; 
print Dumper($content);

[download]
Can't locate object method "get" via package "LWP::UserAgent"

[download]

can any body suggest how to attain this?
