No, you would have to use a system() or a backtic: system( '/home/xxx/yyy/abc' ); # output not important or my @output = `home/xxx/yyy/abc`; # output saved in @output See `perldoc -f system` and `perldoc perlop` and search for "Quote and Quote-like Operators" -- __END__ Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, --- Shawn "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them."
