Opening a pipe will never return a error.
You can find out that an error happened only
by checking close;

From man perlpod:
=for
=begin
=end
For, begin, and end let you include sections that are
not interpreted as pod text, but passed directly to
particular formatters. A formatter that can utilize
that format will use the section, otherwise it will be
completely ignored. The directive "=for" specifies
that the entire next paragraph is in the format
indicated by the first word after "=for", like this:
=for html <br>
<p> This is a raw HTML paragraph </p>

Actually, \012 is the only one of the three choices for end of line
that does NOT make sense.
DOS/Windows' choice of \015\012 harkens back to the days when you had
to tell the line printer to do a carriage return (move to column 1) and
also advance the paper by one line.
Macintosh's choice of only \015 harkens to typewriters, most of which
automatically advance the paper by one line when you press RETURN. That
choice clearly makes the most sense.
Unix's choice of only \012 -- defined in ASCII as "vertical tab" or
"Line Feed" -- makes no sense, because a vertical tab has no horizontal
motion associated with it. It's the equivalent of the "INDEX" key on an
IBM Selectric typewriter.

Only because Unix DEFINED it that way. ASCII does *NOT* define \012 as
"newline."
\012 is "LINE FEED" which is NOT the same thing as "newline" to the
rest of the world.
(Yes, I was wrong about vertical tab, but I'm right about line feed.)
Line Feed is a poor choice for a newline character, objectively
speaking, since it has a fundamentally INCOMPATIBLE meaning.
The carriage return has a meaning that is fundamentally COMPATIBLE with
"newline," because carriage return means return to the leftmost column
of output. Line Feed does NOT contain that meaning.
But anyway, I've said my piece on the subject for now.

There are several modules you could use. I'd recommend to at least use strict.
BTW, makes you think that having multiple disks is significant?

There was absolutely nothing wrong with the proposed solution, but, I
want to get as much information as possible before I consider the script
complete. There are many ways to accomplish the same task with perl,
and I like to get as many opinions as I can. The information supplied
by Chris Fedde was perfect, but the reason that we all post here is so
that we can collect as much information as possible, and that is all
that I am doing. And since I just got 4+ posts letting me know that I
cannot modify a field in the passwd file without rewriting the entire
file, I can focus on that.
Thanks everyone,

Subject: Multiply the actual number of letters entered in a form field
Message-Id: <se4_5.14852$I5.167922@stones>
Hi
I want to put a two field form on a webpage which returns a calculated
figure when submitted.
The first field is for entering text and the second is to enter a number.
The calculation is to simply multiply the number of letters in field one by
the value entered in field two.
I am wondering if this can be done in Perl or should I consider a javascript
solution (OK I know wrong newsgroup for javascript) as I am trying to
incorporate this function within an existing Perl shopping cart. However I
would still like to know how to do this with Perl hence my post here.
If someone could give us a bit of help, I would be very grateful.

Subject: Please help with this script! Weird problem
Message-Id: <3A38C233.F52EF069@home.com>
ok, here is my problem. I need to create a cgi script that does some
operations on some variables. But then I need to output this cgi script
as a html page as well by doing something like this
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html><title>My page</title>";
print "<body>page contents</body>";
....
print "</html>";
Actually though I did this...(so I wouldn't have to keep typing "print")
print<<"END"
Content-type: text/html\n\n
<html><title>My page</title>
<body>page contents</body>
....
</html>
END
Anyways this works fine for small amounts of html like what i did above
but for some reason when put a lot of html using this format the page
gets an error. To recap when I only put a small amount of html the page
will display with the html formatting but when I put a lot it doesn't
work! I thought there might be a length limit in a perl script so I
tried to work around this by putting all the html formatting as a
library and then calling the library from the perl script. This did not
work! Again this only worked when I made the library with a little
amount of html formatting but would not work when the library contained
a lot of html. I really need some help figuring this out.
Below is the file (where i put in a lot of html but doesn't work).
Please help me if you can...i have spent a lot of time trying to figure
thsi out!

What error do you get? What does the error_log say? We can't usefully
help you without some diagnosis info. BTW, run your script with -w and
"use strict". This is most useful for debugging.

I tried this once and came to the conclusion that the
print <<END
stuff...
END
structure only works for plain text, i.e. variables muck it up. I didn't
find any documentation to support this theory but any size of text WITHOUT
variables in it worked fine, but even a single line WITH a variable didn't.

"I went to a party wearing a blue shirt once, and had a really lousy
time. I think parties are only fun if you don't wear a blue shirt."
Here-documents work just fine with variables. If you write <<"HERE"
or <<HERE, any variables will be interpolated. If you write <<'HERE',
they won't be. Either way, they won't "muck it up".

Subject: using perl to call external libraries
Message-Id: <3A38CA0C.5BD13FFB@yahoo.com>
Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to call a C++ library using Perl? I
have a library file recieved from an outside source, and need to
incorporate its functionality via the web (CGI).
Thanks!

Administrivia:
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
| NOTE: The mail to news gateway, and thus the ability to submit articles
| through this service to the newsgroup, has been removed. I do not have
| time to individually vet each article to make sure that someone isn't
| abusing the service, and I no longer have any desire to waste my time
| dealing with the campus admins when some fool complains to them about an
| article that has come through the gateway instead of complaining
| to the source.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
