ups fortran question

Hello All,

  I'm running ups 3.37 on redhat 7.2.  I'm trying to run a fortran process
from a perl script and can't seem to avoid it hanging.

In the perl script, I say:

  system('path_to_script_that_will_run_ups')

and when ups comes up and I hit 'start', it just hangs.  It won't let
me stop or break anywhere.

I need to run the fortran from the perl in order to preserve the run time
environment it needs...

I'm thinking this is related to the well-known fork problem where one must
break after a fork and attach, but I've had no luck there either.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks,

Jamie
