Zo has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello all... I've searched and searched before asking here and found nothing, so here I go... I am trying to catch the system date on a Windows2000 server. When I do this, it works: <code>print system("DATE /T");<code> I see Wed 2/27/2002 But I want to capture the input and use it to print to a text file.. such as: $x = system("DATE /T"); print FILENAME $x; but what I get in the text file is the number zero (0). Any ideas, thoughts, etc? FYI- Win2000, ActiveState Perl 5.6... thanks in advance for all help. Zo.
