UNIX commands inside perl script.

Hello everyone!

A quick queston for anyone who knows perl well.

How do I call a system (UNIX BSDI) command from inside a perl script and
have it display back in the browser?

Example..inside an html page, shtml actually, i have an SSL command:

 <!--#EXEC CGI="/cgi-bin/command.cgi"-->

then, in the command.cgi, i have something like:

#!/usr/bin/perl5

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Current Server Processes:\n\n";
print | exec('ps x -u');


The idea is t be able to show the current server processes from a web page.

Any Ideas?

TIA,
-Grant
