Re^4: Read Pipe, Never Enters While Loop

I added the code to die if open failed, and it doesn't die. Looks to me like open is working?

open (PRM, "-|", $NE_obj->cmd("ssh $activepilotrcs reboot ; tailer PRM
+")) or die "Could not open PRM: $!\n";;
while (<PRM>) {
    print "DEBUG: $_\n";
    if ($_ =~ m/.*FAILED HEARTBEAT.*/sxi) {
        print "$spacer $spacer $spacer $spacer Alarm Received That Act
+ive Pilot Has Gone Down...\n";
    } elsif ($_ =~ m/.*STARTING OA&M LEAD TRANSITION.*/sxi) {
        print "$spacer $spacer $spacer $spacer Standby Pilot $stdbypil
+otrcs Has Started Transitioning To Active...\n";
    } elsif ($_ =~ m/.*FAILOVER INITIALIZATION COMPLETED.*/sxi) {
        print "$spacer $spacer $spacer $spacer Standby Pilot $stdbypil
+otrsc Has Transitioned To Active...\n";
        $NE_output = $NE_obj->cmd("\003");
        last;
    } else {
        next;
    }
}

Never mind, I changed the code to just tail a file and a foreach loop to print the lines read by tail... and got back a "File not found" message...
