Perl question

[Steve Holmes]

Yes, it does.  I use the ` marks that is accent marks before and after
the desired command.  the variable $? will hold the return code from
it and if you put a "$variable = " (without the quotes) in front of
the command, the output from that command that would normally go to
STDOUT will be captured in the $variable.  I think there may be an
actual exec() function as well - not sure though.
