Hi,

I encountered a problem backtick and would like to get some help.
The environment is Windows XP, cygwin, and ActivePerl 5.8.8. Here is the Perl code (try.pl): 
`echo test124!`;
system('java', 'test');

[download]

Here is the java code: 
public class test
{
    public static void main(String[] arg)
    {
        System.out.println("Hello, world!");
    }
}

[download]
And here is the makefile: 
all:
    perl try.pl

[download]

I ran the makefile, but I couldn't see the "Hello, world!" output. If I removed the " `echo test124!`; " line from try.pl, then I could get the result.
It seems to me the backtick interferes with "system" and screwed up the STDOUT.

Can someone help me on this problem?

Thanks!
