Calling Linux Script from Perl

[Nutthick]

I think this is probably a no-brainer for someone, but is it possible to call a linux script (*.sh) from Perl, and if so, how?

Thanks

Yes. I presume you want to get the output, and do something with it?

my @stuff = qx[./my.sh];
foreach (@stuff) {
    print $_;
}
