[wplug] Perl System Funcion

[Matthew T. Engel]

Hello.

 

I using perl 5.8.8 on Gentoo 2.6.20.  I am continually having a problem
where the system() function does not interpret (or ignores) the second
scalar variable.

 

Something like System("cd /home/$user/$web_root && ls), does an ls on
/home/$user rather than /home/$user/$web_root.  The system() function
returns 0, I get the same thing if I try system(cd /home/$user && cd
$web_root && ls).

 

Any suggestions much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance. 

 

Matt
