Perl understands backquotes, just like the shells. Well, almost like the shells: Perl doesn't hide any of the output from you, so if the command produces newlines you will see them too. You can use `chop' if you don't want them. # Not the most efficient (but perhaps the most terse) way to # fill an array with the names of the files in the current # directory. chop(@files = `ls`); Tim. -- Tim Goodwin | "I just noticed that a SUN SLC takes longer to UUnet PIPEX | get to its boot prompt than it takes to build Cambridge, UK | its [ Plan 9 ] kernel." -- Phil Winterbottom
