Hello all,
Any time I run a unix command where I initiate a variable > use the
variable as an arg in the unix command > pipe it to another unix
command, I get an error.  This is the error I get:

---------------------------------------
./test.1.pl
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./test.
1.pl line 8.
sh: syntax error at line 1: `|' unexpected
512
---------------------------------------



-----Here is the contents of the perl script--------

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

check_LANon () ;

$utadm_l = "/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utadm -l" ;

sub check_LANon {
        $LANstat = system(" $utadm_l | grep On") ;
        print "$LANstat\n" ;
}

------------------------------------------------------------

How can I run this succesfuly?  I have other scripts that I need to do
this with as well, but I can't since I always get this error.  If I
substitute $utadm_l with the actual command, it works fine.  Only
barfs when I use a variable.


Thanks all!
