Hello All,
I have written a code "auto_runner.pl" which invokes another script "embed.pl".
embed.pl script in turn opens an xterm and sends messages on this xterm. I want to catch the error thrown in this xterm. Zenity tags are used to highlight error when embed.pl comes across one.
Also that I have no control of changing the code in embed.pl since it is someone's else's code I am using...
Please suggest which direction should I proceed.
Looks clueless to me.

sub CIrc_check{
    my %SETUP=%{$_[0]};
    print "\033[33m Embed.pl invoked\033[0m\n";
    my $link=$SETUP{SVN};
    my $output_path=$SETUP{LOCATION_OF_OUTPUT};
    my $model_name=$SETUP{MODEL_NAME};
    $output_path=$output_path."/"."EMBED_RESULT";
    `mkdir $output_path`;
    chdir $output_path or die "Can't cd to $output_path : $!\n";
    `xterm -e embed.pl -link $link &`;
#When embed.pl strikes with an error in link or something it evaluated
+ it throws zenity tag sayin error in model name or so
}
