Re^2: How do I capture large output in a perl variable

Thanks for the suggestion. It is true that the XML tags and data within them is present if i check "view source" in my browser. I finally got that working by replace "<" by "<"before displaying it in browser.
But that is not the only problem. Other than the XML part, there is a large amount of data missing from the output which I normally get if i log onto my web server and run the same command on the command line, i.e, a large part of the output seems to be truncated when I run the command through the web page. What should I do to capture all the output into the perl variable?

I'm still not convinced that the variable isn't capturing all of the output. Perhaps the output is different for different users and the CGI user's output is only a subset of what you get as yourself. It's also possible that the browser times out in downloading a large amount of data though I kind of doubt that. Change your CGI to print the output directly to a file on the server and examine that file to see what the variable is actually capturing.	[reply]
