Is there a way to send the output of a unix command to a variable in Perl? I'm trying to have a while loop read in input, assign it to a variable and then have that variable be the input for the unix command. This is what I have:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w open(LIST, "list");
while(<LIST>) {
@nodes=(<LIST>);
chomp;
my $nodename=`nslookup $_ | awk -F Name: '{ print $2 }'`;
print $nodename; }
close(LIST);
When I run it, it can't get past the '|' in the nslookup command. Thanks to all who can help.
