Actually, the frst step completes fine; it is the piping of that output
into the python scripts that generates the issue.  Please see the
following output from these attempts:

> perl fw1r55_to_fwdoc.pl --rules=3Druleset.W --objects
=3Dobjects.C --with_implicit_rules > ruleset.fwdoc
 - by Volker Tanger 

> tail ruleset.fwdoc
        ,"SunRPC_ypupdated": {
            "name": "SunRPC_ypupdated",
            "protocol": "SunRPC"
        }
        ,"SunRPC_ypxfrd": {
            "name": "SunRPC_ypxfrd",
            "protocol": "SunRPC"
        }
  }

> cat ruleset.fwdoc | fwdoc_to_html.py
cat: write error on standard output: The pipe is being closed.

I guess the output of fw1r55_to_fwdoc.pl has a problem - probably the
program even quits with an error.

What happens if you run the generation of the FWDOC file and its
processing in two steps?

perl fw1r55_to_fwdoc.pl \
	--rules=3Dfwrules.W \
	--objects=3Dobjects.C \
	--with_implicit_rules \
	> ruleset.fwdoc

and if that works fine:

cat ruleset.fwdoc | fwdoc_used_objects.py | fwdoc_to_html.py


I guess you already have a problem in the first step.

Bye

Volker
