That sounds like the standard behaviour on Unix -- when the reader end of a
pipe finishes, the writer end gets the signal SIGPIPE. If it doesn't catch
the signal and deal with it, the signal kills the process.
Don't you want the tail -f to stop when somescript.pl is done? What's the
point in writing to a pipe that no-one is reading any more?
Cheers,
