      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,
