Hi All

first timer here :-)

I have an odd problem. I have written a perl module that I use to post data to an ESB. It uses LWP and HTTP::Request. I have a test unit that uses this and it works great. My first real use for this module was to do some processing within a cgi script (which happens to use cgi.pm). Once the processing is done, I call my module in order to post a message to the ESB, and then return OK to the browser. That's the theory. What happens in reality is that the call to the ESB hangs for about 10 seconds when called from within the CGI.

It seems like this may be due to STDIN/STDOUT redirection but I am not sure. I just cannot make it work and would appreciate some guidance.

Thx Z
