system() problem.

[Jocke]

I'm trying to execute a perl-script with system(). I get a return, but I need to send an optional value to the script. But for some reason the script never recieves the additional info!

Example: system("perl.pl -command") results in the same output as system("perl.pl"). I've also tried exec(), passthru() with the same result. Any ideas?

Last possibility is using backticks

$foo = perl.pl -command;
