I can't reproduce this.
On my system, the contents of an executable file named tmp.pl:
#! /opt/local/bin/perl
print "[A/B]\n";
At a shell prompt:
[72]% ./tmp.pl
[A/B]
Inside R:
> system(' ./tmp.pl')
[A/B]

Hello,
I am writing an R package, and I am using system() to call a perl script.
The output of the perl script is correct except for "[A/B]" is output as
"AB". Can someone explain this behavior. I would like to try and fix this.
many thanks,
Stephen Sefick
