storing symbolic link target into a variable

Hello everyone!
Can someone let me know how to get target name of a symbolic link and
store it into a variable? For example
system( "readlink $link" );
only prints the target name. I would like to store the target name into
a variable, say $target, without printing it.
Ultimately I would like to have a procedure that copies a regular file
and one or more of its symbolic links, into another file and another
set of symbolic links pointing to the copy of the original file. In
other words a set of files should be copied so that their link
structure is preserved. Is there any high level function that can do
the job?
Regards,
Aurel.
