4. Executing Other Processes

Perl enables one to execute other system commands while returning control to the script. There are several different ways to do this, and they would be covered here.

• 4.1. The system() Command
• 4.2. Trapping Command Output with `...`
• 4.3. open() for Command Execution
• 4.4. String::ShellQuote
