Hello ikegami,

Thanks for the reply.. I am new to perl...so need some clarification...so do you mean to say that the "$test" program in "open(TH, "|$test >$tmpfn" )" is returning the error code? and it is not a standard error code due to some problem with call that it is failing.

In the documentation it is written that when using piped open, the open might suceeded..but that does not mean that the command in the open succeeded, it only means the fork succeeded, so I also verified using ps -ef and the command is getting executed.

Due to this the outfile $tmpfn is also empty

thanks
