Re: (tye)Re: Find the permission problem

tye, perlfunc system() doesn't talk about taking an optional direct object nor am I finding it in any of my books. Where would I go to find more information on this topic?

In the following, the "PROGRAM" (which isn't followed by a comma) is the optional indirect object: system LIST system PROGRAM LIST [...] Like `exec', `system' allows you to lie to a program about its name if you use the `system PROGRAM LIST' syntax. Again, see the exec entry elsewhere in this document. [download] at least I think that is what Larry called that. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply] [d/l]
