Hi all, I have a sticky problem with a bit of code: 
open(TMP, "uptime.pl |") or die "$!";

while(<TMP>) {
 ($receiver,$uptime) = split;
 push @dataset, $uptime;
 push @labels, $receiver;
}

close TMP;

When run from the command line, it works as it should with the @labels and @dataset arrays becoming populated: 
70CM 0
50CM  22
H-OH 0
MULTIBEAM  22
GALILEO 0
MULTIBAND 0
METHANOL  22
K-BAND 0

Now when included into a perl/CGI script (versions 5.00404/2.56), the script does not appear to populate the @dataset array: 
70CM 0
50CM 0
H-OH 0
MULTIBEAM 0
GALILEO 0
MULTIBAND 0
METHANOL 0
K-BAND 0

[download]
ie, the numbers are going to 0. Can anyone help? Regards, Stacy.
