System call to print to webpage

Sat, 22 Sep 2001 23:03:44 -0700 


Hi all,
         I thought i had my head around system calls.  I try sticking a 
system call to get the systems uptime into a variable and all i get out of 
it when i look at it from the web in my cgi-bin is "0!"

Any suggestions?

Thanks

$uptime = system ("/usr/bin/uptime");
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html>\n";
print "<body>\n";
print "<h1>$uptime!</h1>\n";
print "</body></html>\n";
