more help please! I looked through my Learning Perl book and only see
code >>filename for appending to a file. Here is my code but it is not
writing to STDOUT designated as my file.

        my $foreigntapes="/usr/local/log/foreign_tapes.log";
        delete $ENV{'IFS'};
        local $ENV{'PATH'} =
"/usr/epoch/bin:/usr/epoch/EB/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin";
        #print $ENV{'PATH'},"\n";

## Traverse through array

        my @ftapes = ();
        my @ftapes = grep s/^barcode=//, `evmvol -w label_state=3` >>$foreigntapes;
                if ( -s $foreigntapes ) {
        `echo "foreign tapes found, labeling foreign tapes"|mail -s
"foreign tapes" support`
                foreach $_ (@ftapes) {
                        `evmlabel -l st_9840_acs_0 -t 9840S -b$_`
                }
}

the appending is not working!!!
again the output is just a listing of tapes
