[RESOLVED] Capture Value from System Command in Perl

[lilmark]

I'm new to the whole Perl, Unix, PHP thing, so bear with me, please.

Using the below code i'm basically trying to find the size of the file and store that value into $sret. However, it doesn't seem to be working. What am I doing wrong?

$sret = system("wc -c $path/GA_1_"."$fcnt.txt");
