Hi, I am having this problem with redirection in perl, on a Win NT operating system. Basically I have a perl script lets call it script1 which is calling this other script2, whose output I am trying to redirect. My script2 is calling another script lets call it script3 using the system command. 
#script1.prl

use diagnostics -verbose;
use FileHandle;

FileHandle::autoflush STDOUT 1;
print "In script 1\n";
unlink ("gg");
system ("script2.prl > gg");
FileHandle::autoflush STDOUT 1;


exit;

[download]
#script 2

use diagnostics -verbose;
use FileHandle;

FileHandle::autoflush STDOUT 1;
print "In script 2\n";
system ("script3.prl");
FileHandle::autoflush STDOUT 1;

exit;

[download]
#script3 

use diagnostics -verbose;
use FileHandle;

FileHandle::autoflush STDOUT 1;
print "In script 3\n";
FileHandle::autoflush STDOUT 1;

exit;

I have tried this both on UNIX and an NT. On UNix it weoks fine with the output being:
in script 1

and gg:
in script 2
in script 3

for some reason on NT it fails. the ouput is the same but gg:
in script 2

it is not storing the ouput of script 3 in gg on NT. please help
