John,
This example is adapted straight from page 230 for 'system' of the "Camel"
book (Programming Perl, Second Edition - O'Reilly, Larry Wall, Tom
Christiansen & Randy L Schwartz).
I recommend the book if you are serious about *ANY* Perl programming.
/ACCT/SOURCE>cat perlrun
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
@args = ("callci","showme");
system(@args) == 0
or die "system @args failed: $?\n";
@args = ("callci","nettool.net.sys","'res;di;q'");
system(@args) == 0
or die "system @args failed: $?\n";
/ACCT/SOURCE>./perlrun
