Hi to all, This is my first post... I'm calling shell script inside my perl script like below. SHELL:~/apache/apache_1.3.41/cgi-bin 5> cat stage1ucmjoin #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/plain\r\n\r\n"; if (length ($ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}) > 0){ $buffer = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}; @pairs = split(/&/, $buffer); foreach $pair (@pairs) { ($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair); $value =~ s/%(a-fA-F0-9a-fA-F0-9)/pack("C", hex($1))/eg; $in{$name} = $value; } } $streamname = $in{'streamname'}; $isdynamic = $in{'isdynamic'}; if ($isdynamic) { $shellcommand = "ucmjoin -join -dev dynamic -release $streamname"; } my $output = `$shellcommand`; print "\nstatus=$?\n"; print "\n$output\n"; Issue is execution of shell script is failing always when i call inside perl script. I'm calling this perl script from cgi based user interface. But it is working fine while running in command prompt. Please help me to solve this issue... Thanks in advance. -Siva
