Hello, I am a beginner at perl and i have very little experience with it. I am using a perl script like test.pl which has lines like 
system("/root/node/ant run ");

[download]
I call this from a shell 
% ./test.pl

[download]
what should i add to my script so that results of my executed command are visible in this shell? for e.g 
system("/root/node/ant run ");

[download]
generates an o/p line like 
" Welcome"

[download]
So when i run ( expected output)
% ./test.pl
 " Welcome"
%

[download]

Thank you all for the replies. I used the file handle method.
