I am trying to use system() to run an external command and have the output
placed into a variable using:
$output = system("/usr/local/bin/somecommand");
the output is placed into $output, and it also places it instream with the
HTML. Anyone know why this is happening? or how to properly put data from
STDOUT into a variable?
Any help is appreciated.
