awk and execute app

Ahoy,
New to Ksh and Perl. Spent days googling and trying things before finding this site. Search this site for solution. What I want is to automate the typing of a command on a HPUX 11 server. The command is particular to Perforce and their excellent tech support suggested I do this in Perl.

Tried Perl but think I need to install a pm for Perforce which the sys admin of the server won't like. So then I tried ksh. I have a long list of branches (stored as a list of single words in a file called p4branch.txt) in Perforce to delete and I got a short test list to just print, but then I get nothing when I try it using the perforce (p4) command. No error. Just nothing.

The command (p4 branch -d -f branchname) works when I type it in a terminal window.

Code:

awk '{p4 branch -d -f $1}' p4branch.txt

Thanks for any insight!
