I know that this is not strictly a Tru64 operating system question, but since almost everyone on this list are Tru64 experts, I thought I will try it here first before posting it in any Perl newsgroup. I sincerely apologize if this is not acceptable to the list members. I have perl v5.8.0 and lynx v2.8.5 on a Tru64 5.1b-3 system. In perl, I have this statement: @Cmd = ($LYNX, "-cfg=$LYNX_CFG", "-dump ./$HTMLfile >| $TXTfile"); $Stat = system(@Cmd); The $Stat returns a value of 0, but Lynx does not produce the dump file! Entering this command interactively produces the text file as desired. What switches can I use to make Lynx honour the system() call? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, -- mahendra ................................................................ A.
