I am kind of curious.
If there is a way I can create a tar file from a source server then
extract it to a local machine in 1 command in perl using system().
from a unix command line I could do something like
# ssh me@server1 "cd /directory tar cf - " | tar xfv -
My attempt in using system()
my $CMD = "ssh me\@server1" ;
my @args = qw( "cd /directory tar cf - " | tar xfv -) ;
system("$CMD @args") == 0 or die "tar failed: $?" ;
It only allows me to ssh over to the server1 then exit out
without going into the diretory create a tar file and untar.
Any thought as to how I can accomplish this?
thanks,

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
