It's possible that the script is erroring out part way through because
of the way that CFEXECUTE is invoking it. Are you using any includes
that might break if the "working directory" or calling path was different
from how you run it in the shell? Have you tried just running the script
with CFEXECUTE without writing to an outputfile or to the device to see
what output it actually generates?
I've run basic Perl scripts with CFEXECUTE before and didn't have too
many problems getting them to work. There ought to be some way to do
it.
