STDOUT redirection

[caitsdeo]

I'm running a system remote shell command from a perl script that puts the output to STDOUT. I want to redirect the output to a variable for this one command only. How do I do that?

Instead of using a system command try using a pipe, like so:

open PIPE, "cmd |" or die "Cannot open pipe : $!\n";
my @lines = <PIPE>;
close PIPE;

The PIPE works great. I never would have known that. Thank you so much.
