[ale] Question about scripting...

[lists at serioustechnology.com (Geoffrey)]

Can't do that.  What I'd suggest though, is if you need perl, do it all 
in perl.  Anything you can do with shell you can do with perl.  If you 
have to rely on the shell, you can always open a pipe in perl and 
process shell commands, or use the '`' syntax:

my $date = `'date`;
