Hi, 

Thanks for your advice. 
We've done before by writing data read from ssh command to separate log file. 
The output simply ends somewhere.  Then the Perl script continues with the rest 
of the code, e.g.  the Perl script prints some headings, then a table 
containing lines from the ssh command, and print some footnotes at the end of 
script.    The output html looks 'normal' except there are fewer lines in the 
table.  It's unlikely the Perl script aborted.

Will ask web admin to check Apache log for any hint.

Thanks again.

Hi.

It sounds like what you need to do is :
add some logging directly in your perl script, to a separate logfile.
(And maybe re-open STDERR to that same logfile).
Then you will see exactly where and why the perl script crashes under Apache.
Do not forget that when the perl script runs under Apache, it runs under the 
same user-id as the Apache webserver.
