executing bash comands with pipe

Hi everybody,

I am trying to convert some bash scripts to perl. How can I execute
the bash sequence below:

vxdmpadm listctlr all | grep GENESIS | awk '/ENABLE/ {print $1}' |
sort -t c -k 2,3n | tr "\n" " "

This command give me the following result:

root@fj50in># vxdmpadm listctlr all | grep GENESIS | awk '/ENABLE/
{print $1}' | sort -t c -k 2,3n | tr "\n" " "
c4 c5

The vxdmpadm command result:

root@fj50in># vxdmpadm listctlr all
CTLR-NAME ENCLR-TYPE STATE ENCLR-NAME
========================================
=============
c0 Disk ENABLED Disk
c3 EMC_CLARiiON ENABLED EMC_CLARiiON0
c2 EMC_CLARiiON ENABLED EMC_CLARiiON0
c5 GENESIS ENABLED GENESIS0
c4 GENESIS ENABLED GENESIS0

I tried using chop, but the "awk" command part appears not working:

chop (my $status = `(((vxdmpadm listctlr all) | grep GENESIS) | awk
'{print $1}')`);
print "\n\nmake exit status:\n$status\n";

Results:

make exit status:
c5 GENESIS ENABLED GENESIS0
c4 GENESIS ENABLED GENESIS0

TIA,

Fred

$1 is a Perl variable. You don't want to use the $1 Perl variable.
You want to pass the literal string '$1' to the awk part of your
command. You need to backslash the $ so Perl knows you're saying the
string dollarsign-one, rather than the variable $1.

open my $fh, '-|', 'vxdmpadm', 'listctlr', 'all'
or die "Cannot open pipe from 'vxdmpadm' $!";

my @data;

while ( <$fh> ) {
next unless /GENESIS/ and /ENABLE/;
push @data, [ /^(\D+(\d+))/ ];
}

close $fh or warn $! ? "Error closing 'vxdmpadm' pipe: $!"
: "Exit status $? from 'vxdmpadm'";

print join( ' ',
map $_->[ 0 ],
sort { $a->[ 1 ] <=> $b->[ 1 ] }
@data ),
"\n";

You would still be using the perl interpreter as a shell which is not
that useful. You should instead

open my $cmd, '-|', qw/vxdmpadm listctlr all/ or die "D'Oh!\n";

and then do stuff while (<$fh> ). What stuff to do depends on the rest,
but I don't know hawk so I can't help you. As far as the grep is
concerned, it can be just as simple as a

next unless /GENESIS/;
