how to log if the program contains both bourne-shell & pearl scripts

I have a program (say, MyProgram) written in Bourne-shell script, but at some point it calls another script written in pearl, as illustrated below:

#!/bin/sh
.....
case $x in
1) ConfigSystem1 ( b-shell script)
2) ConfigSystem2 ( pl)
3) ConfigSystem3 (b-shell)
....


Then I create another script (call ConfigSystem) in an attemp to capture the screenshot & save it in a dated log file:

#!/bin/sh
datestamp=`date +%y%m%d_%H%M%S`
MyProgram 2>&1 | tee ../logs/ConfigSystem_$datestamp.log


If I run ConfigSystem, it hangs at the point where the pearl script is called.

If I run MyProgram, it is fine (but with no log)

Why does it hang on the pl script or is there another log utility that can work in this case?

Thanks in advance!!

NAME
lr_environment - Export Lire configuration in shell script form SYNOPSIS
eval `lr_environment` DESCRIPTION
The lr_environment command is used to import the Lire configuration in Lire shell scripts. All of Lire configuration variables will be written in a format that can be evaled by the shell. Shell scripts don't usually have to use that command, since it is done by the defaults file sourced by each command. The old names used by when the configuration was done in shell script are also exported by this script for backward compatibility. AUTHOR
