use strict;  
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
#use diagnostics;
use IPC::Open3;
my @changed_paths;
my @changed_files=("//depot/perl/tools/scripts/files/data.c");
foreach my $file (@changed_files)
{

  my($wtr, $rdr, $err);
  use Symbol 'gensym'; $err = gensym;
  my $pid = open3($wtr, $rdr, $err,'p4 where $file');
  print "$err\n"; #prints as GLOB(0x183f108),why is it so?
  #waitpid( $pid, 0 ); //Why do we need this?Program never halts if th
+is is present
  my $child_exit_status = $? >> 8;
     if ($err eq 'file(s) not in client view') 
      {
          push @changed_paths,$file;
      }
