Shell Programming and Scripting

how can i declare variable in perl.

Code:

 for BLOCK in /sys/block/emcpow*

That's not even how you declare a variable in shell... I think you mean, how do you *-globbing in perl.

Code:

foreach( </sys/block/emcpow*> )
{
        system("blockdev --setra 16384 $_");
}

Just one thing to realize: system() runs a shell exactly like the shell the scripts I already showed you ran in.

So you are not running perl instead of shell. You're running lots and lots of shells, with a tiny topping of pointless perl. (Sorry, it's a peeve of mine.)

please check below code is it true.

Code:

foreach( </sys/block/emcpow*> )
{

 system("echo "noop"", "$_");
}

Another code in perl is correct please confirm

Code:

foreach( </sys/block/emcpow*> )
{
        blockdev --setra 16384 $_;
}

Please correct this

Code:

        system("echo "noop" > $_");

system() takes one parameter, not two or three or four.

You can't put quotes in quotes like that. If you must, escape them like \".

I repeat. By doing this "in perl", you are actually doing this in lots and lots of shells. Every time you run system(), you are running /bin/sh. There is no purpose to using perl here.
