File handle worked just fine. ...now I'm trying to get the output back out of it. Now I'm hanging when I try to extract the output from the handle. My code looks like:

print "\n PROCESSING \n\n";
while (<$fh>)
{
  print "$_ \n";
  if($_ =~ m/"urlid":"(.*?)"/)
  {
    print "found it! \n";
    $target = $1;
    print "terminating \n";
    last;
  }
}

I get "Processing" and then the first line from the output before it just hangs. I'm not entirely sure what's going on there. I'll try messing around with Expect and see if I can get that to work.
