Home: Perl Programming Help: Win32 Programming Help: win32 env: redirect output stream from command line using cgi script

hurukan New User Mar 15, 2006, 5:53 AM Post #1 of 3 (4014 views) win32 env: redirect output stream from command line using cgi script Can't Post Hello, I'm trying to execute a command from a perl script that is used to communicate with a mysql dbms. I'm trying to redirect the results from the console to a perl variable in order to process it. The problem is that I read the documentation concerning the system() function but I never succeeded to redirect the output stream to this variable. I only get a sort of 'return code' in kind of integer of value 256. Can you tell me how I could do that ? Thanx Dimitri

That would seem to be the easiest way to do it. -- Dave Cross, Perl Hacker, Trainer and Writer http://www.dave.org.uk/ Get more help at Perl Monks

I tried, it is working with all the XP console dos-like commands but it seems that apache doesn't want to execute a java code outside of the space reserved for the scripts to be executed, but now this is no more a perl issue but an apache/java issue, thanks anyway for your help, ... by the way $myresultsfromoutput = `(antiquote) command line plus params`(anti quote again) works better than $mycommandtoexecute = qq~command line plus params~; $myresults=qx/$mycommandtoexecute/; don't know why ????
