in thread A problem with variables inside a system() call

Thanks for the info.

In any case, I got the $command << EOF from some other perl code provided by the DB maker, and I never felt quite comfortable with it. I guess it works, but I think I'll redo it using system().

Once again, thanks for the help!

    Re-implementing with open(CMD,"| $command"); might be closer to what you want.
