  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
