Get return value from exe

[ronenbenchamo]

Hi All,
I hace a program the reurn a string, how can I run the program and get the reurn value at perl?

I try to do:

open P, "getuser.exe |" or die "error running command $!";
my @data = <P>;
close P;
my $exit_value=$? >> 8;
 
foreach my $line (@data) {
    print "line=$line\n";
}
 

Also I try to do

my $x=system("getuser.exe");
print $x;
 

Nothing works,
Any Idea how can I do it?

use the full path to the executable:

my $x = qx|c:/your/path/to/getuser.exe|;
