replicant inline command only firing once?

TS 6.5 SP1 Sol 9

My DCT makes an inline command call to a perl script to return a generated id into a text field inside a replicant container. It fires once and returns an id. However, on subsequent replicant adds, it simply copies the first value returned. It's as if it only fires once, even though a new replicant item has been created.

My DCT snippet:

<!DOCTYPE data-capture-requirements SYSTEM "datacapture6.0.dtd">
...
<container name="document" combination="and" location="document" default="0" min="0" max="20">
<label>Document</label>

<item name="DocumentID" pathid="docid">
<label>Document ID</label>
<description></description>
<text maxlength="10" size="12">
<inline command="/cms/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl /iwmnt/default/main/CCMC/WORKAREA/development/cgi-bin/genId.ipl documentID"/>
</text>
</item>

The perl snippet that returns the id

print "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>" . "\n";
print "<substitution><default>$id</default></substitution>\n";

A couple of things I'm in the process of trying:
1) use 6.5 dtd (if it exists)
2) Remove the <default></default> tags. Documentation of this feature only requires <substitution> tags.
3) Anything else?

TIA

By definition, an inline will only fire once, at DCT startup time. To generate an ID, you'll want to use FormAPI and either a callServer or some JavaScript means of creating that ID.
