output from shell cmd

[jrwats]

When executing some command via backticks like the following:

$strCmd = <<'HEREDOC';
someExecutable.exe -a -bunch -of -options
HEREDOC
`$strCmd`;

the only way to get output from the result is to do:

$result = `$strCmd`;
print $result;

Is there any way to get output from the command real-time? I don't
even need to save the results, I just want the output to go to stdout
as it would if I had run the command from a bash script.

Thanks,
JW

Looks like the system(@args) command is the answer to that question.
