Don't do that! Your perl program should start with 
#!/usr/bin/perl -T

    Monk - Yes my program starts with #!/usr/bin/perl -w. I am also able to capture the Query. But I need inputs on calling external programs.
    Thanks

      #!/usr/bin/perl -T called taint mode is different from #!/usr/bin/perl -w called warnings.

        I have changed code to #!/usr/bin/perl -T but now it does not even display the page. How do I debug what is wrong. If I change it to -w it displays the page but no call to test_process.pl. Appreciate your help.
