hello monks..

I am trying to submit a job (which is embedded in a shell script) using 'qsub'. I tried running the code using various options in perl, but each time when it runs, it submits the job but exits the perl program and does not wait for the job to be finished.

I need the program to wait till the queued job is finished and then based on job output do other things later. Any help will be appreciated. I tried.. 
$job = "/usr/bin/qsub pbs_job.sh";

$status = system($job);    #it submits the job here and
                           #exits perl code

If ($status == 0) {

do something

}

2. using pipes 
$job = "/usr/bin/qsub pbs_job.sh";

open(my $status, "-|", $job)
   or die "couldn't launch qsub job: $!/$?\n";

for (<$status>) {
       print "$_";
}
close $status;

thanks.. mjr.
