Re^3: Capturing bash output without displaying STOUT in terminal

[dasgar]

Based on your response to my post as well as stevieb's initial post, I'd agree with stevieb that it looks like the command that you're running is sending the response to STDERR. As stevieb has pointed out, his suggestion of using backticks will only let you capture STDOUT. Capture::Tiny can capture both STDOUT and STDERR (and exit code) for system commands.

Or, you can append 2>&1 to the command line, allowing STDERR to be captured through STDOUT. Only recommended if the normal STDOUT is empty.
