Disable echo in Perl

I want do make a perl script that runs other scripts that compile parts of a project. And if i run with system another script it displayes the whole commands set that the script executes. I want to disable that echo (inhibate it or something like that) so only my script can display messages on the stdin.

Thank you!

Can you post an example?

Generally, you redirect the output of "other commands" to /dev/null or NUL: [linux/windows respectively], or if you still want to save the output, redirect to a file. If you want to, you can also redirect stderr by "2>" or "2>&1" - the latter "combines" the stderr with stdout.

Code:

---

...
                my $status = system("generate2.bat");
                    if (($status >>=8) != 0)
                {
                        die "Failed to generate pp1.txt";
                  }
...

this displays what the generate2.bat echoes. I don't want to see that. How can I stop it from printing? (I'm not allowed to modify the generate2.bat file)

As described above:

Code:

---

system("generate2.bat >> NUL:");

now it gives me

Code:

---

sh: generate2.bat: command not found
