Create ./channels.conf  with the single line:
CBC:539000000:8VSB:49:52:3


This code never gets to 'here3'.
I think because the command ping never finishes (ping is an example
command, there are no switches to make the real command stop).
I've seen similar code working elsewhere.


    my $cmd = 'ping google.ca >/dev/null |';

    open( ZAP, $cmd ) || die "can't fork: $!";

print $cmd . "\n";

print "here2\n";

    while (my $line = <ZAP>) {
        print $line;
    }

print "here3\n";
