in reply to shell redirect CGI failure

It could be reaching the die statement. die sends its message to STDERR, so it wouldn't appear in the web reponse. Did you check your error logs?

Also, you don't check if the child returned an error. (See Using open() for IPC.)

    Yeah but. He put use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser'; Shouldn't that take care of it?

      Yup, forgot to check for that. It's still a good idea to check the logs.
