Re^2: system() Creating Different Results than Commandline Operation.

I tried the code below however I am unsure what I should be getting out of it. nothing is being printed out and I fear its due to the very nature of system_no_output.

$gcov_error = system_no_output(
    1, 'perl.exe', '-le"print qq[>$_<] for @ARGV"'
    $da_filename, 
    "-o", $object_dir, 
    "-b"
);

I have no preference one way or the other of how the command executed. system_no_output is merely code I am trying to port at the moment.

I guess I should have suggested that, (for the purposes of the test), you redirect the output to a file rather than `/dev/null`. (Which won't work anyway!). Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
