I have a line in my perl script that tails a file and the output is part of a web page being generated. The problem I am having is that the output is in a continous line.

The syntax is:

system "tail -20 /File.txt";

the output is:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

I need the output to be:

1
2
.
.
20

Any suggestions?

Thanks

@Out = `tail -20 /File.txt`;
foreach $Line (@Out) {
print "$Line";
}
 
Thanks, I had to add a \n in there, but it works great
