• Perl 5.18.2 on Ubuntu 14.04LTS
• Using module Mail::Sender v0.8.23 (latest version)
• programb.pl was developed first and runs fine on it's own, when not called from programa.pl.
• programa.pl calls programb.pl which creates a spreadsheet, but programb.pl doesn't seem to run all the way and I'm not getting any error messages. programb.pl run by itself works fine.
• The final concept is to run programa.pl, and calls the right program depending on input. Right now I'm only supporting programb.pl as a command for programa.pl.

This is related to my other question. Can I step into a program called with `backticks`? Example called in programa.pl:

@z=`perl /full/path/programb.pl -option`

I need to both capture the output of programb.pl, and step into programb.pl to see why it is not completing, as it might have an error, but there is no error in @z (captured output).

Thanks!
