Re: perl and shell

Whydid you first discuss this with us in the CB but then ignore and not even mention our advice or the problem you're trying to solve? Why don't you even post the code you have so far??

I'm confident you have read system and the section in perlop about "backticks", so maybe you can tell us how the sample code there could be improved, or at least where you have problems with it.

`cat $1` That doesn't make much sense. You're trying to run the contents of `FileOpen.pl` as a shell command... Just write `./$1` instead and everything will be fine. The `"./"` part might be required, as on Unix, `"."` (the current directory) is typically not in the searchpath for executables (for security reasons).	[reply] [d/l] [select]
