Hi:
I'm not sure if the phenomenon occurs in Linux, but occurred in the HP-UX
machine that I'm
using.
The following code below doesn't work:
`/usr/bin/clear`;
if ($? != 0) {
die "$!";
}
print "exit\n";
Note:
a) The screen doesn't clear but "die" is not executed (i.e. "exit" in
printed on screen) )
system("clear"); # This one works.
I'm just curious why `/usr/bin/clear` or `clear` doesn't work, yet
system("clear") works given
the fact that using backticks for other shell command works.
I know this code is not portable, but portability is not an issue here =)
Just curious.
Thanks.
Regards,
Ludwig
