Not able to get value in 3rd variable
Perl Legends,

I am trying to debug below perl script. Till "h1" and "h2" the value in variable is initialized. but as soon as it execute the command for 3rd variable "h3" it terminates.

Code:
$h1=`/usr/bin/head -1 /tmp/a/$ARGV[3]`;
print TEST "after h1\n";
print TEST "$h1\n";

$h2=`/usr/bin/head -1 /tmp/b/$ARGV[3]`;
print TEST "after h2\n";
print TEST "$h2\n";

$h3=`/usr/bin/head -1 /tmp/c/$ARGV[3]`;
print TEST "after h3\n";
print TEST "$h3\n";


@head = ( $h1, $h2, $h3 );

print TEST "after head1\n";
                        $h = 0;
                        foreach $header (@head) {
                                if ($header =~ /Host/) { $h++; }
                        }
print TEST "after head2\n";




OUTPUT

after h1
# Host: a Start time: 08/30/12 01:30:56

after h2
# Host: b Start time: 08/30/12 01:30:56

--- And it terminates after h2

Pls help

substitute the value of ARGV[3] in this:

Code:
/usr/bin/head -1 /tmp/c/(..actual filename here..)

Does the word "Host" appear in the output? The file may not be formatted as you expect or may be empty. Your perl example is logically ok, but did not produce output you show, so I assume you edited your code for brevity.

Sorry forgot to mention,
Actually, it same file in 3 different directories (a,b,c)
When i am running it manually, it displays the first line, but not through script,
and this script is being called remotely from other host using "ssh -xCf <hostname 1..2..3> <filename>
and the <filename> passed on before making ssh connection is the argument ARGV[3]

So any idea, when script is called remotely, then why it stuck after "h2"
