Re^2: Perl won't Open() when called from Java

Considering that $syslog_file is assigned a string literal, without any interpolation, I don't think the OP should expect any surprises here.

And neither should we.

~~`my $syslog_file = "tail -n 0 -f /var/log/messages \|";` doesn't look like a string_literal to me.~~ yes this is...was thinking incorrectly. When I looked at the code, by the time I got to the open(), I was thinking that the op had done a system call to get the output of tail. My goof. But it appears that my $\|=1; suggestion did work.
