There are two scripts.
script2.pl is called from script1.pl
Both scripts write to same file 'xyz.log'. script2.pl opens with append mode.
Script1.pl
----------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

$logFl = "xyz.log";
open (FIRSTFH, "> $logFl") || die "couldn't open file...$!\n";
print FIRSTFH "This is from first script\n";
system("script2.pl $logFl");
#print FIRSTFH "This is second print in first script\n";

Script2.pl
----------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
$logFl2 = "xyz.log";
open (FIRSTFH, ">> $logFl2") || die "couldn't open file in script2...$
+!\n";
print FIRSTFH "This is from second script\n";

Running above script1.pl will result with following file.
$ cat xyz.log
This is from first script
This is from second script

But if commented line
#print FIRSTFH "This is second print in first script\n";
is uncommented and ran then following will be the result.
$ cat xyz.log
This is from first script
This is second print in first script

Please let me know how to make script1.pl work so that all messages are in order in output file. That is it should contain three messages
This is from first script
This is from second script
This is second print in first script
Thanks
