Hi,

This is my code in perl.

   my $include = "foo.1";
 my $ct = "/usr/atria/bin/cleartool";

open my $pipe, "-|", $ct, "desc", $include or die "could not run cleartool:
$!";

When i execute this , I am getting below error.

   meaningless input.

    Uncaught exception from user code:
        Illegal division by zero.

Is there any other way to represent below code in perl,

open my $pipe, "-|", $ct, "desc", $include or die "could not run cleartool:
$!";

Am i missing anything here. Please advise.

You may be running into machine-dependent behavior of the LIST form of  
open (see perldoc -f open).

Just an idea.  I haven't thought deeply about what the error message  
may mean.

- perl version
- system you're running on
- complete source

(If your source was complete, you're missing

 use strict;
 use warnings;

in front of your program.)
