Dear Monks,
let's start with my first question regarding Perl/Tk.

I have a Perl command and need to put it in my Perl/Tk application into a sub-routine, but I don't know how to do that.
I've played with system() but it won't work. The Perl command looks like following:

$ perl -lne 'foreach (glob "$_/*"){print if !/Makefile[.inc]*$/}' zz.lis

sub scan {
  $listbox->insert('end', "Scanning...");
# the mentioned perl command should be placed here
  $listbox->insert('end', "Done.");
}

In my second question I'd need a Perl equivalent for this shell command:

ls -l | grep ^d | grep -v Mk | grep -v Templates | grep -v Tools | grep -v distfiles | cut -c57-69

I can put this command in system(), and it works, but it does not look clean.
Besides it might not work on another machine(s), bcs. of the cut command?
In fact it will print a list of directories and skip directories, which names are "Mk", "Templates", "Tools" and "distfiles".

Kind regards,
unknown-monk
