Hi,

my script is something like this :-

open (SNMP1, "abc.sh |") or die "Cannot run abc.sh $!";
while (<SNMP1>) {
       # do some processing
       }
close (SNMP1) or die "ERROR: testing $! $?\n ";
[download]

When i execute this from command prompt, it runs fine. But when I run it from the web broswer, "close (SNMP1)" is failing. Since it is run from web, I don't get to see any error message but statements after "close (SNMP1)" never get exectuted.

Is it advisable to use "die" or we can avoid it. Because if I don't know "die" in "close (SNMP1)", it works fine.

thanks a lot in advance.
