Script Help

[stinkeye]

I have a downloaded perl script that I use with conky to access gmail, that needs you to set your username and password within the script.
ie

$user="username"; #username for gmail account 
$pass="password";

I want the perl script to retrieve my password from gnome keyring instead of having it in the script.
I have a python script which can retrieve a password from gnome keyring.
The python script is in my PATH and can be run in terminal to output my password with...

gkeyring --id 13 -1

So in the perl script I tried
$pass="`gkeyring --id 13 -1`";
but doesn't work.

What do I need to use so the $pass variable in the perl script uses the output of gkeyring --id 13 -1

PS I know nothing about perl or python.

Remove excessive quoting:

$pass=`gkeyring --id 13 -1`;

Aha... worked.
Thankyou.
