It is a simple test program. Basicically, whatever number is entered as the arguement, the program merely spits it back out. I want to be able to specify what arguements are passed to the program so I can get the appropriate output of that program and use it in my perl code. Preferably, I would like the arguement passed to be a variable I will have earlier declared in the code.	[reply]

Then again open as of the documentation or "more simply" `qx//`, aka 'backticks', which personally I don't like. Remote chances are that you may be interested in IPC::Open2 or IPC::Open3 as well.	[reply] [d/l]

Ahh, so you want to be able to call this program with arguments, then? Have you tried qx//?	[reply]

It is a simple test program. Post your code. That will help a lot. holli, /regexed monk/	[reply]

Here is the program (in C++) `int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { cout << argv[1]; system("PAUSE"); return EXIT_SUCCESS; }` [download] Just takes the arguement that was specified at run time and spits it back out. I want to be able to call this program from within my Perl code (preferably with arguements that are variables that I have specified in the Perl code as well.)	[reply] [d/l]
