How to issue CLEAR command from Perl

[Hewlett Pickens]

Invoking a Perl script from a TN3270 terminal (Linux/390)

Want to issue the shell "clear" command to clear the screen.

Using Bash shell 1.14.7(1)

"clear" works ok from the command line.

Does not clear the screen when issued from the script.  Displays    1
instead

Have tried these "syntaxes" (if that's a word)
  
  my $x = `clear`;
  my $x = qx(clear);
  `clear`;

Thanks,

Hewlett Pickens
