I have a interesting problem now,the below code dumps "$stdout" output of the $cmd command run to "p4diff.log",what I noticed is it's not entering the while loop if I do this where as if I use a pre-existing p4diff.log without generating through the program it enters the program,any idea what could be wrong in the below code

$cmd = [  (qw(p4 diff -f -sl), $options{v})  ];
run3($cmd, \$stdin, \$stdout, \$stderr); 
#print "\n$stderr\n";

      #Output the diff to p4diff.log
     open(my $P4DIFF, '+>', "p4diff.log") or die $!;
     print $P4DIFF $stdout;
      $input = <p4diff.log>; 
      #Open teh p4diff.log to get the missing files and output to dele
+tefiles.txt
      open(my $OUTPUT, '+>', "deletefiles.txt") or die $!;
      open my $DATA, '<', $input or die "could not open '$input' $!"; 
      
      while ($line = <$DATA>)
      { 
         print "IN WHILE LOOP\n";#not printing
         if ($line =~ /missing/)
         {
         $line =~s/\\/\//g; 
         $line =~s/\Q$client_root\E/$perforce_root_dir/g;
         print "$line\n";
         print $OUTPUT $line;
         }
      }
      close $OUTPUT;
