Hi Folks

I'm having a slight problem; for some reason my perl program does not want to read my pipe! Argh! I'm trying to read the output of the linux program "fortune" :-) but it just will not display the result. Here's my code:

$fortune_result = readpipe("fortune");

and then I print $fortune_result but nothing appears. Not even a CR. Nothing. I know the code works because it reads the result from any other program like df or even mail. It just won't read fortune.

Anyone got any ideas why?
