Ahh, ok. Looks like what is happening is that the command actually gets executed, but it takes longer than your timeout to complete.

I would do this: 
my @lines = $th->cmd(String => ("backup.pl Server.Name=$dbsrvr Backup.
+Database=$c", Timeout => 600);

[download]
instaed of my @lines = $th->cmd("backup.pl Server.Name=$dbsrvr Backup.Database=$c
This will give you a long timeout on that command only.

Actually seeing the command in the dump_log usually means that you got that far in the script, in this case, the command would never have been executed if the prompt was not matched. If 10 minutes is not enough time for the backup to complete you might want to up the timeout even further.

"Nothing is sure but death and taxes" I say combine the two and its death to all taxes!
