The problem is is that the handle is not open when I try to print which tells me the open failed. The $pager (more) is a child of the FH process (which opened a pipe to whatever). If the child $pager failed, shouldn't that be returned and the "open" fail? Like my other question asks, in what case would this fail? The | works fine everytime and so the first chance for failure would come with the opening of $pager, right?

Thanks,
