That depends on what you want to do. There are five common ways of
executing external programs (including shell scripts):
1. the system function*
2. the qx// operator**
3. the open function***
4. the open2 function from IPC::Open2****
5. the open3 function from IPC::Open3*****
Five ways?
You forgot the backtick:
my $result = `Some shell command`;
Don't forget:
perldoc -f exec
perldoc Shell
