Thanks for the reply.
The weird thing is that I tried other system commands with qx and they works
as expected. Here's a sample of the code:
#$file is an object representing an XML file
my $info = "";
my $info2 = "";
my $data = "";
## These next 2 lines are the ones causing me issues
$info = qx{/usr/bin/curl -b cookies -c cookies -d
"user=xxx&password=xxx&switch=Log+In" https://URL/FOLDER/SUBFOLDER/};
$info2 = qx{/usr/bin/curl -b cookies -c cookies -F File=\@$file
https://URL/FOLDER/SUBFOLDER/};
## Example of system command that works
$data = qx{date};
print "INFO: $info\n";
print "INFO2: $info2\n";
print "DATA: $data\n";
The output is:
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'URL'
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'URL'
INFO:
INFO2:
DATA: Wed Aug 20 10:13:49 EDT 2008

The problem again is that I want the first 2 lines of the output to be
assigned to $info and $info2 respectively, but for whatever reason, the curl
error message is printed on the terminal and nothing is assigned to the
variables. How can I modify the program to accomplish that goal?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
