module unable to start process

[Adhamh F. <ad...@ap...>]

I'm working on a module that needs to start and stop a process.   The 
module stops the process fine, but it won't start the process.

In my loaderControlStart.cgi file I have the following line:

open (dialogLoaderd, "sudo -u dialog /Applications/dialogLoaderd|");

This does not start the process, but I don't see any errors when the 
page finishes loading.

If I put this same exact line into a perl script and run it from the 
command line the dialogLoaderd process starts up with no problems.

Could someone explain what I am missing?

Thanks,
