Thanks Chas,
This does work. So there's no problem with perl itself. I guess now,
i'll have to take a look at vplan_all.pl.

The sucky thing is that road is too much of pain to go down. (Though
now i don't think ill be able to sleep without thinking about this :))
Oh well, Bug begets bug :)

Anyways,
thx again for helping out
Alex


I don't think the problem is in vplan_all.pl. I looked back at your
original code and noticed a bug:
system( "perl vplan_all.pl 5.6 24.0")
or die "Couldn't run the vplan_all.pl script: $!\n";

This should be

system( "perl vplan_all.pl 5.6 24.0") == 0
or die "Couldn't run the vplan_all.pl script: $!\n";
.
