Let's say I am stuck on NT and have a perl script (first.pl) that calls a second perl script such as:
my $out = `second.pl 2>&1`; that calls a command line tool (clt). If in second.pl I use: my $out = `clt 2>&1`; The return value of clt is nonzero when I call it this way, but out does not contain any stderr which I assume is generated. The stdout seems to be lost altogether, as I don't see it anywhere. If I add the perl binary to the exec of second.pl in first.pl: my $out = `perl second.pl 2>&1`; Then in second.pl the clt returns 0 (so I don't know if the stderr is lost or not, since it would not be generated in this case). Has anyone seen behavior like this on NT? I have never seen this on Unix, only on Solaris. I am sure I am doing something wrong. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
