I am running LPRng 3.7.4 and would like to use a perl script as a
replacement filter for ifhp. The problem I am encountering is lpd is
generating an error even when the script exits successfully. I developed
a test filter as a diagnostic tool which does nothing except for read
from STDIN and writes to STDOUT. I searched the list archives and my perl
script appears to be using the correct syntax. Has anyone encountered
this problem before.
