Made in Germany that works great! I also would like to know for my reference in beginning Perl, how to make this work?

Code:
my $var = qx(uname -a |awk '{print \$1}');
$status = ($var = "SunOS")? `/usr/local/bin/gnutar czf /local/mnt/backups/nbu_db_classes.$server.$timestamp.tar.gz class config` :`tar cfz /local/mnt/backups/nbu_db_classes.$server.$timestamp.tar.gz class config`;

It doesn't seem to work; not sure why; am really uber-beginner with Perl

The = is an assignment.
String comparison
Code:
($var eq "SunOS")

Number comparison
Code:
($var == 2)
