OK. Im moving along the PERL learning curve quite well until I hit this wall......Please excuse my ignorance at this stage if this is something that is REALLY basic.
At a command shell, I can type: zgrep -c '*.pdf' textfile.txt and come back with a count. How can I execute this command with a PERL script and get that count that it retruns?
