perldoc -f exec exec LIST exec PROGRAM LIST The "exec" function executes a system command *and never returns*-- use "system" instead of "exec" if you want it to return. It fails and returns false only if the command does not exist *and* it is executed directly instead of via your system's command shell (see below).
