Subject: [htdig] calculated keywords not finding their way from wrapper to htsearch

I'm new to htDig, so I apologize if this problem is old news, but I've
looked everywhere in the web site and couldn't find anything useful
I'm running 3.1.5, and I have a Perl wrapper around htsearch. The
wrapper accepts keywords which are passed directly to htsearch, or,
alternatively, accepts certain other box and menu selections which are
then 'calculated' into a list of keywords.
I call htsearch like this:
open (IN, "$htsearch -c $digconf words='$query' | ")
where $query is a properly formed list of keywords.
If I provide keywords to the wrapper, $query is properly set, htsearch
does its thing, and I get good results.
If I use the other function of the wrapper, which calculates out the
value of $query, nothing gets passed to htsearch (I get an error
indicating no keywords were provided, and in fact the value of $(WORDS)
in the output templates is the null string.
But IN BOTH CASES, $query in the call the open is correct!
Does anyone have any ideas on what might be going on?
Thanks in advance.
