output from perl script

[mareoraft]

I do not know how to do one simple (but important!) thing.

 

How do I output from my perl script so that I have a {query} to post as a notification?

 

My workflow looks like this...

 

KEYWORD   ------->   RUN SCRIPT (/usr/bin/perl)   -----------> POST NOTIFICATION (from {query})

 

My perl script says...

$i = '{query}';

#$print "$i";
#system("echo $i");
#return $i;
 

I commented out all three because none of them worked.  How do I output to the NOTIFICATION?

 

Thanks!

I know nothing about perl but doing a simple..

$i = "{query}";
print $i;

Seemed to work when passing to a notification. In the notification, set the message to {query}

You're right.  Somehow I put a $ in front of print by mistake.  Also, using

$i = '{query}'

in my more complex program caused issues, although i have no idea why.  It needed double quotes.  But in the simpler program, both behaved the same.
