hi reborg,

I tried the " $status " in a directory containing *myfile.
And these statement appear " Reset tty pgrp from 7873 to 11434 ". What does this statement mean ?
Is " $status " a special variable in csh ?

Code:
% ls *myfile
xxx1_myfile  xxx2_myfile
% ls *myfile|echo $status
0
% Reset tty pgrp from 7873 to 11434

NAME
Template::Tools::tpage - Process templates from command line USAGE
tpage [ --define var=value ] file(s) DESCRIPTION
The tpage script is a simple wrapper around the Template Toolkit processor. Files specified by name on the command line are processed in turn by the template processor and the resulting output is sent to STDOUT and can be redirected accordingly. e.g. tpage myfile > myfile.out tpage header myfile footer > myfile.html If no file names are specified on the command line then tpage will read STDIN for input. The "--define" option can be used to set the values of template variables. e.g. tpage --define author="Andy Wardley" skeleton.pm > MyModule.pm See Template for general information about the Perl Template Toolkit and the template language and features.
