Problem with the code

[rejoic]

I am having problem in the part of my code, here is my code:
@lines = 'ping 192.168.0.199';
foreach(@lines)
{
print;
}
It is just returning the command which I want to run ping 192.168.0.199.

Well, you have used the single quotes in the second line that runs an external command. Replace those with the backquotes ("` `"). The backquote key is often found left of the number 1 on full-sized American keyboards. Be sure not to confuse the backquote with the single quote, "'".
