command line status in ipl

I'm executing a custom ipl file that has a command line that can be ran from the command prompt. When executing it from the command prompt I'm returned a status of the command and other information after it's excuted. I want to also want to see this information if I execute it from the ipl. Any ideas on how to get the output displayed in my ipl?

I'm returned a status of the command and other information after it's excuted...

where do you output status and whatnot? If that's stdout then qx or back-ticks evaluate to command's stdout.
so, my $result = qx($command); should give you what you need...

I'm not having trouble running the command.

Here's my command that I run at the cmd prompt:
e:/Interwoven/OpenDeployNG/bin/iwodcmd.exe start CPProductionImmed

Here's that's displayed after the command is ran:
Locating OpenDeploy service.
Got OpenDeploy service
>>>>>-- Start deployment CPProductionImmed.
iwodstart running in default synchronous mode.
Need to wait for deployment to complete.
***ERROR - Starting deployment.
Reason from server: DEPLOYMENT_NOT_QUEUED
Details : Deployment CPProductionImmed is already running. Request to start it now cannot be done. Rejecting request.

I'm running this command in my IPL as:
$sdCMD = "e:/Interwoven/OpenDeployNG/bin/iwodcmd.exe start CPProductionImmed";
#run command
`$sdCMD `;

everything runs fine, but I want to see the text that outputed in the comand prompt window

As earlier said by Boris... it should give you the results.

$sdCMD = "e:/Interwoven/OpenDeployNG/bin/iwodcmd.exe start CPProductionImmed";
#run command
my $result = `$sdCMD `;
print $result;

I would guess that some of the output is coming on stderr rather than stdout. Redirect stderr into stdout and both will be returned.

e.g.

 
 my $results = qx|$deploy_cmd 2>&1|;

I am not sure in the Windows you can redirect stderr to stdout with 2>&1.

Try this in the script:

my $result = qx{command args};
$result = $?;

$? returns the status of the command executed.

Try this in the script:

my $result = qx{command args};
$result = $?;

$? returns the status of the command executed.

Windows DOES support the use of 2>&1; The code you posted overrides the content that was being looked for. I believe the end-result is a mixture of what you are proposing and what Rob proposed:

my $result = qx{$command 2>&1};
my $status = $?;
if ($status || $result =~ /(?:error|fail|reject)/smi){
    # error
}
else {
    # success
}

my $result = qx{$command 2>&1};
my $status = $?;
if ($status || $result =~ /(?:error|fail|reject)/smi){
# error
}
else {
# success
}

This is exactly what I needed. Thanks
