in reply to Directing STDOUT of called perl script to a variable within a calling perl script

There is a possibility that the script does not get executed, for a number of reasons - no ".pl" association, executable permissions, bad path, missing shbang etc.

1. Try adding "perl" or "/usr/bin/perl" in front.
2. Try adding "2>&1" at the end - maybe STDERR has something while STDOUT does not.
3. Check for errors as suggested above.

             I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it.
