Subject: [Q] How can I pass Perl variables into shell?
Hi,
Can I not do something like...
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
my $myname='hi There';
system "ls","-la";
system "echo","$myname";
qx{awk '{ if ($myname==$1) { do something } else print
$2,$1 }'};
My script is complaining about uninitialized
variables..
I suspect it is talking about $1 and $2s .Can I not
place them here?
Can I pass $myname to awk?
Thanks
Bhanu
