Shell Programming and Scripting

So what happends when you call the script? Anything? Anything written to the error log?

Do you have ScriptAlias setup for the directory the perl script is in? Generally I put perl/cgi scripts in cgi-bin directory.

Here is the command:

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

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

Does it start-up?
Do you see that initial "Print" mesaage?

No nothing is written into the error log and that is why am so confused. Here is the output of the access log:
10.10.10.10 - - [11/Dec/2008:19:26:37 +0000] "GET /icons/page-background.png HTTP/1.1" 304 - "http://10.10..10.1/cgi-bin/test2.pl" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648)"

Yes I do the see inital print Message on the browser and then its Blank page

if you add -w does it give you more errors?

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w 
.
.

No, since its not generating any error......I restarted httpd and here is the output of the error log, after I ran the URL.......
