in reply to put system(); output into my $variable -- chech for installed aplications
System doesn't return anything to the caller other than the return code and signal number. Use backticks, or qx//, instead e.g. my $var = `command`; or my $var = qx/command/;
Compare system with Regexp-Quote-Like-Operators
A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))
