Aside from the multi argument version of system that Tom has already mentioned, the bigger question is "Why are you running code outside of Perl?" Often people think they need to say things like system "rm -rf $path"; system "mkdir $path"; system "chmod 666 $path"; when they could just as easily say use File::Path; use File::chmod; rmtree $path; mkpath $path; chmod 0666, $path; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
