Re: Run an external program and capture its output

BTW - I should have added that if I run this command (directly from a 
DOS Command Prompt) it does populate 'test.txt' with the expected output:-

         gtk-update-icon-cache --force --ignore-theme-index --source 
builtin_icons  gtk/stock-icons > test.txt

So in other words, the actual command is valid.  It works when run from 
a command line but I can't seem to make it work from a perl script  :-(
