Hi,
In case if u r using system() function inside ur
perl script u cant get the path bcoz. system function
returns the return status of your shell command. If
the command is successful it returns a zero otherwise
a nonzero value. U should execute the command using
`(back tick) like this,
$filepaths = `fine /user/prakash -name "ad*"`.
the above command will redirect the output of the
shell command into the variable.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Prakash.
