in reply to How do I pipe Apache to my script then to cronolog?

Without looking up the pipe facility for apache logging - I'd just replace 'cronolog' with 'myscript.pl' in the apache config, and let my script dispatch to cronolog (whatever that is :-) -
open(STDOUT,"| cronolog") or die "Can't run cronolog: $!\n";

and make shure a) apache finds the script (i.e. it's in it's $PATH), b) it is executable by the efective UID of apache.

That way I'd avoid requesting from apache to be able to parse and behave like a shell.

--shmem
