Re: running programs

For a quick answer try
system("your command or something");
You can also look at the man page on system or do a search on cpan. (search.cpan.org). Secondly, being somewhat new to perl myself(a couple of months), you should pick up O'Reilly's book "Learning Perl". I was able to learn from it very fast and it teaches you how to start writing meaningful scripts and all of the basics. Good luck and happy hunting.
