Re: hiding perl-wrapped command output

I'll try both of these methods. Would something like this also be useful?:

open CMD, "/sbin/fdisk|", '<', "-uM -q -L -O disksave --no-reread $dev
+ice <<EOF\n0,\nEOF" or die "dude, what are you trying to do?";

Perhaps not, but I'll mess around with it. Also, what does the '*' indicate in open local(*STDOUT)?

Include `$!` in your die statement if you need to learn the error.. what does the '' indicate in* typeglob on handle ... Search for "local on a glob" in this page which explains it..	[reply] [d/l]
