sh: bad number

[But However]

Hi,
I compiled a simple program with perl. But I ran into some problems.

sh: campusUnderAttack.out: bad number

I try to execute a program and input the result to antother file
"campusunderAttack.out"
like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# Run campus scenario and plot result
#

#run 'campus network under attack'
print STDERR "Running campus under attack scenario...\n";
#`java SSF.Net.Net 57600 campusUnderAttack.dml >& campusUnderAttack.out`;

I executed this program under Unix (sun) with bash shell.

Thanks,

wenpeng

I think you may have more than a few issues here.

i'm not at all sure what you mean by

'compiled a simple program with perl'

nor how exactly you tried to run it.

so you may need to provide us with a whole lot more details
about

a. what you did
b. how you did it
c. what issues you really need answered.

^^
It looks like your problem is using '>&', did you mean to use '>'
instead?

I'm a little unclear on the problem here. It doesn't seem to be a Perl
issue. I tried the Perl code from the above, and it gave exactly the output
I would expect:

Greetings! E:\d_drive\perlStuff>perl -w
print STDERR "Running campus under attack scenario...\n";
^Z
Running campus under attack scenario...

Greetings! E:\d_drive\perlStuff>

Are you trying to mix shell and Perl?
