in reply to Perl interpreter stops when writing logfile - why?

If LanX is right, then a workaround might be to write the file from the Perl script instead of using redirection.

Also, that's a pretty old version of Perl, why not update?

    On second thought, the suggested workaround actually doesn't relate to LanX's post - it's a workaround for the possibility of something strange going on with redirection, not dumping.

    Adding an option to your script to write to an output file instead of STDOUT might still be worth it, since then you have more control over it and don't have to rely on the shell for that.
