Re^2: Capturing both STDOUT, STDERR and exit status

Thanks, this is nice and clean. I did make the qx output scalar, otherwise it gives me a list of output lines.

sub executeCommand
{
  my $command = join ' ', @_;
  ($? >> 8, $_ = qx{$command 2>&1});
}

my ($status, $output) = executeCommand ('/bin/ls', '/');
