Thanks, Heince. I had mistakenly thought those were synonymous with
each other. And, of course, this morning, doing a new search produced the
backtick solution. However, every example I found was for a unix command, not
a perl script.
Using the backticks returns nothing, so perhaps my remote script may
not be set up properly to "export" it's result? Sorry - I've never dealt with
WAN solutions like this before so I don't even know how to put it.
5 hours later...
I've since decided to offload a portion of my local script to the
remote script to avoid the back-and-forth. However, I'm still curious if this
can even be done.
As I mentioned, my remote script produces an array of directory names
that I need to use in my local script. The array is populated correctly, but I
can't see it in my local script.
Can the result of a remote script be used in a local script by calling
it via SSH or some other means? If so, how do you get the result back? This
is not a CGI script - that was only an example path I used.
Thanks,
Frank
