Need Help with Perl Scripting Issue.
The Perl script runs fine without any error from command line. The script executes an external command and prints the output on a web page. But somehow when I call it from URL it does not work. Any help will be appreciated. Here is the script:
--test.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
use warnings;
use strict;
use Socket;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print <<ENDOFHTML;
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Test Page</B></CENTER></TITLE>
<BODY background="/icons/page-background.png">
<body text="#808080">
<IMG SRC="/icons/test.gif" width="142" height="60" align="left">
<h1 align="center" font size=1> Netops-DashBoard</center></h1>
<br>
<br>
ENDOFHTML

open(SMP, "/usr/local/bin/sshpass -p test ssh test.com /usr/contrib/bin/serverinfor -b |") || die "Failed: $!\n";

while ( <SMP> ) {
chomp;
my $line = $_;
print "$_ \n";
print "<br>\n";
} # while

print "</BODY>";
print "</HEAD>";
print "</HTML>";



-----The script does not work when we call from : http://www.xxx.xxx/test.pl

In the sense that the While Loop does not get executed.....

I bet your server's running under a different user, most likely www-data. So in that case your server would be trying to log in as user www-data @ test.com.

Code:
sudo su www-data
sshpass -p test ssh test.com /usr/contrib/bin/serverinfor -b

Server Error
That is true , since httpd is ruuning as apache user and that is why we are using sshpass with the another user-id and password......I have tried giving a wrong password and the error log says invalid password. Hence the different user-id is not the issue.

Is the file marked executable?

Question
Continuing from ikon... is it executable for 'others' (the third set of owner/group/others)? Especially if you are running this from the web - assume that to fall into the 'others'.

By not work, does it start-up?
If so, then I might be thinking of file locations/directories and their related settings.

Yes it does
Yes the file permissions are 755

Tried with root user-id also
Have tried with root user-id for the remote server and the result is the same. Hence its not the permission issue.
