Executing unix commands from a Perl file

[carlosAlberto]

Hello,

I would like to execute the following unix command from my Perl file:

snmpwalk -v 3 -u testUser -l noAuthNoPriv $ipAddress $miboid

and then display the result to the screen.

How is is possible to execute this command and display the result???????????????

All help greatly appreciated.


Regards,
Carl.

So are you getting nothing out of the pipe or is it not even opening? Dying and printing $! can help diagnoses problems like these. I don't know if you've done this already or if it's been mentioned earlier, but I didn't see it.

open (RESULTS, $snmpCommand) or die "Error: $!";
