Using perl 5.8.8 on linux, need the output of a perl 'system' command to be hidden. The command in my code is :
system("wget", "$url", "-Omy_folder/$date-$target.html", "--user-agent=$useragent");
I've tried using "> /dev/null 2>&1" in different places in the system command, like this-
system("wget", "$url", "-Omy_folder/$date-$target.html", "--user-agent=$useragent","> /dev/null 2>&1");
Can anyone help me with where the redirection to /dev/null should be?
