Hi,

Its my first time (first day actually!) using Perl and I would like some help in performing some relatively simple operations.

My program outputs two columns of text based data. I want to parse this information, extract some contents and send the contents (which are actually program names) to yum, to be installed into a Unix machine.

Currently, I'm extracting the names using "split" command and pushing the program names into an array. I want to know how to call a command line utility (like yum or rpm) through Perl. Does this require any additional libraries?

Advice on any alternate/better way of achieving the same would be great!

Thanks,

Teresa
