Re: Redirecting STDOUT

Chris,

Do you absolutely need backticks? You can invoke a
command/program and
capture stdin, stdout with OPEN2, and stderr with OPEN3. I
haven't done it
in ActivePerl although I have in Unix. I do know they don't
work well for
my purposes with another perl script, but they might work
with a system
command or standard program.
