If I execute the script manually it works great. If I execute it via
pipe with exim I get this:
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.0/LWP/Protocol.pm line 87, <> line 20
(#1)
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/local/bin/Pager.pl line 60, <> line 20 (#1)
My pipe section of my exim.conf looks like this:
address_pipe:
driver = pipe
path = /sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin
user = mail
environment="http_proxy=http://proxy.rdlg.net:3128";
use_shell = true
home_directory = /var/mail
return_output
(If I don't include the proxy statement I time out on the network
connection. Odd because I'm not requiring proxy...)
I'm attaching the script.
