Syntax=perl problem

[allen haim]

Hi,

Could someone please help with this Syntax=Perl problem?

-----------------------
/notemplate/test3.html:

[-

$r = shift;

    Execute({
        inputfile => '/usr/local/apache2/cgi-perl/warreng/header_test.pl',
        syntax => 'Perl',
        output => \$out,

        #options => 256,
        #req_rec => $r
    });
-]

<p>output:

[+ $out +]

-----------------------
/usr/local/apache2/cgi-perl/warreng/header_test.pl:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print 'allen';
-----------------------

When I point to http://localhost/notemplate/test3.html, I get:

output:

with nothing after it. 

If I hit reload about 5 or 6 times, sometimes I will get the following:

allenHTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 02 Jun 2005 16:57:42 GMT Server: Embperl/2.0rc3 
Apache/2.0.52 (Unix) mod_perl/1.999.21 Perl/v5.8.5 Content-Length: 72 
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=99 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/html; 
charset=ISO-8859-1

output: allen


It's as though the 'allen' is getting printed but not actually sent.


Finally, I added the line:

select((select(STDOUT), $| = 1)[0]);

in header_test.pl.

Now, 'allen' is printed *before* 'output:' is printed.

What is the right way to call an arbitrary perl script and catch its output?

Thanks

Allen
