This above script when I use for particular site, running on my machine on port 8004, then I'm able to get the output accordingly. But, when I use this script on another machine, on port 20000, then I m not getting any output. Please see the link below for which ACI port i'm talking about and not getting any output for this case.

this is the same exact scenerio, there you can see, one has to open a browser and run - http://localhost:20000/a-getstatus . I too want to query the interface port through perl and see the output.
