[p4] Problem running p4 command line from a perl script.

[Biswajit Dash]

Hi all, 
 I got it myself. 
I was aproaching the problem from a wrong direction :(

Here is what i do.

my $ticket = `p4 login -p $user `;
chomp($ticket);
@changes = `p4 -u $user -P $ticket changes -s
pending`;

Regards,
Biswajit.
