The official Perl documentation can tell you more: system, exec, qx, do. Why don't you tell us more about what you need? Perl 6 - second systems done right	[reply]

You simply have to arrange for the assassin to recognize its own foot, so as not to shoot it off. Every process has an id-number, or “pid,” and the loop that goes through shooting bullets must ignore its own pid, thus avoiding shooting itself.

`$ perldoc -f system $ perldoc -f qx $ perldoc -f open $ perldoc -f exec $ perldoc -f do $ man peripc $ man perlopentut $ man perlop` [download] Please learn to help yourself. People have spend countless hours to write documentation. Read it instead of asking to be spoonfed the most trivial things.	[reply] [d/l]

If you're new to Perl you may want to look at: http://learn.perl.org http://perldoc.perl.org (here you can search the docs online as JavaFan suggests) The Tutorials section of this site. This question comes up reasonably frequently, see posts like Running perl script from a perl script or Super Search for more examples.	[reply]
