Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello there, how you guys doing? Hope well. I'm trying to write a perl script which will receive command line arguments and pass it to system.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; # Check if program is being executead as root if ("$>" ne "0") { print "This program can't be executed as root\n"; exit 2 } # Get running vm's my @get_vm_list = (`xl list`); sub show_vm_list { print @get_vm_list; } my $vm_run = pop @ARGV ; my %rec_args = ( vmlist => \&show_vm_list, getdomid => \&get_dom_id, ); my $arg = shift @ARGV; if (defined $arg && exists $rec_args{$arg}) { $rec_args{$arg}->(); }

OK here is my function which I'm trying to get working

sub get_dom_id { my $XENDOMID = "xl list| DOM_ID=`fgrep $vm_run` | awk '{print $ +2}'` && VNCPORT=`ps x \ | fgrep -m 1 "domid $DOM_ID" | awk '{print $1}'` && sockstat -4l | fgr +ep $VNCPORT | awk '{print $6}'"; print `$DOMID`; }

I have already tried set system environment using $ENV{'MYVAR'} without success

Any Directions will be appreciated, thanks in advance
