Hi y'all,
    I'm currently experimenting with running the Apache server on
our 5.5 machine.  It runs very well, btw, but I'm running into a
minor glitch...

I'm running the server with some forms in the web pages, which
are calling some CGI scripts written in PERL.  I got PERL from
the HP Jazz site.

Here's a sample of what I'm doing inside a PERL script:

  $ciline = 'callci "purge foo.pub"' ;
  @outline = $ciline ;
  print `@outline` ;

Now...I'm a PERL novice, only having read the online manual last
Monday and Tuesday, so there may be a better way to execute the
Posix callci builtin.

HOWEVER occasionally, like 50% of the time, I get the error
   callci: error opening redirection file".
   purge foo.pub  >U110C0091.PUB.APACHE

Since I have three of these callci thingies in my script, most of
the time the script will fail.  I consider this an ungood thing.

I'm logged on as MGR.APACHE, and I'm running sh.hpbin.sys -L, and
I'm in the /APACHE/PUB/apache_1.2b6_mpe/cgi-bin subdirectory when
I run PERL.

When I run perl -v I get

This is perl, version 4.0

$RCSfile: perl.c,v $$Revision: 4.0.1.8 $$Date: 1993/02/05 19:39:30 $
Patch level: 36

Sure, I know that I can use other things to purge files, and whatnot,
but what I _really_ want to do is to run suprtool from within a PERL
script.

Any ideas anyone?  Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks in advance,
\KenR
