<text>when I do this </test>
$xx=`sh $translationscript $filename $source_dir $file 2>&1`;
<text> the value $xx has the log from the shell script and the STDOUT. Also, in the shell, I am checking for some errors and based on the error - I have a variable defined and I want that variable need in perl and then I will have to continue my script based upon the type of error I get from the shell.
How do I do this? </text>
thx
