Hi, This feels more like an apache question than a perl question but have run out of ideas, so I thought I would try.

I have a simple filter script that I would like to use to filter out the apache error logging into my script and then into the cronolog script.

However, I only get the apache 'resuming normal operations' and then nothing ever again. I thought it might be buffering so I tried making STDOUT hot, but no luck.

Here is the code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -T                

use strict;
use warnings;

$|++; 

my $line = shift( @ARGV );

unless( defined( $line ) ){
        $line = <STDIN>;
}
select STDOUT;
$|=1;
print STDOUT "$line\n" if( defined( $line ) && $line !~ m/favicon/ig )
+;

exit(0);

In the http.conf for the error log it used to be "|cronolog ..." and now its "|myscript.pl|cronolog ...". Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
