yum is not a perl statement:
the other way is: using backticks: (man perlop search for qx//)
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my @cmd=("yum", "update" "--security");
my $yumstatus = system @mycmd;
print "completed\n" ;the other way is: using backticks: (man perlop search for qx//)
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $yumoutput = `yum update --security`;
print "completed\n" ;ASKER

Aaargh.. ; missing...
(i have no CentOS/RHEL to test this on... , gentoo doesn;t use yum..., so didn't check enough).
Updated other examples as well.
