[syslog-ng] Issue about using perl script in Receiving messages from external applications

[Jian Zhu]

Hello,

Could anyone please help me on this below issue?

my syslog-ng.conf file look like below:

The test.sh script work fine, I can see it's output in the test.sh.log file.
But the test.pl doesn't work. the test.sh and test.pl have the same
function of printing something to STDOUT.
