A script that will show system time,language&country information and system information.


Dear All I have written the following small script in bash it is running successfully.
#!/bin/bash
date
uname -a
cat /etc/sysconfig/clock | grep ZONE
locale | grep LANG

But when i am writing the same script in PERL the
" cat /etc/sysconfig/clock | grep ZONE"-- this line is not executing and showing sh: /etc/sysconfig/clock: Permission denied in the screen.The other three lines are executing successfully.

I made chmod + x prog.name before executing the script and I also tried to run the script as a regular and root user.But in both cases the o/p are same. If there is any modification can be made to the script to work in more details pls give that suggestion also.

Thanks & Regards

bash and Perl are two separate languages. Each has its own syntax. You can't ask Perl to understand a bash script.

post the Perl code.
