    Thank you so much. I am working on my script, so I cannot try it at this time, but to confirm, it should also follow any processes created by my Perl script (compiler, linker, etc calls) if -f options is passed to it, correct?

      Yes, that's what the -f is for.  See "man strace" for other useful options.
