you want to save the output, so use backticks.
my $uptime = `/usr/bin/uptime`;

Hi all,
I thought i had my head around system calls. I try sticking a
system call to get the systems uptime into a variable and all i get out of
it when i look at it from the web in my cgi-bin is "0!"
Any suggestions?
Thanks
