Execute Commands in Perl

You can use the system function or backtick operator to call system commands in Perl. Here is an example code for both methods:

1. – structure

my $command = 'ls -l';
system($command);

In the previous example, we used the system function to call the ls -l command to list the files and folders in the current directory.

1. Call system commands using backtick operators.

my $command_output = `ls -l`;
print $command_output;

In the example above, we invoked the ls -l command using the backtick operator and stored the output in the $command_output variable, then printed the output.
