Collect out from executed program

Hi,
I am sorry if you are getting this a second time. I posted this about
10 hours ago through google, and it seems that it has still not
appeared.

I want to grab the output of a program (called via a perl script).
Assuming the program or executable is located at
"/home/masca/org/10/exe" I have tried something like

open(OUTPUT, `"\/home\/masca\/org\/10\/exe"`);
while(<OUTPUT> ) {
print;
}

This results in nothing happening. Does anyone have any ideas what I
might be doing wrong?
Thanks a lot.
O.O.
