How to redirect stdout of a command in perl script.

Hi,

How to redirect an output generated by a command using perl in windows. ( As we do in shell scripts ls > ls.out ).
Here is my script.

$DIR="C:\\Documents and settings\\Administrator";
$COMMAND="srvinfo -ns";
# srvinfo is the command available in
# Windows2003 reskit. I have attached the
# command too.

Now need to execute the srvinfo -ns and redirect the o/p to a file called srvinfo.txt at the $DIR location.

Can you please guide me to complete this.
Thanks,
Regards,
Raghu.

The simple way would be to use a batch file like

a.bat

C:\Documents and settings\Administrator\srvinfo -ns > srv_log.txt

and just execute that a.bat file

I'm not sure why a question about perl on Windows is in the HP-UX forum, but have you tried:

system("$COMMAND > $DIR\\srvinfo.txt");

Heironimus,

Since the section heading is scripting and languages, thought this is the right section, anyways Sorry for the inconvenience.

Tried the option. but it didn't work.

Thanks,
