Hi, I've been lurking on the list since last summer, and have a question. I'm trying to get the contents of 'uname -a' into an array. I have: #/usr/bin/perl @a=`uname -a`; print "$a[0] $a[1] $a[10]"; But this isn't working as I thought it would, its not printing the selected array elements. Any ideas? http://knoxville.pm.org/
