Re^4: How to find perl line after segfault.

Hi Browser UK,

perl -d:CallTrace i-Mage.pl 2> trace.txt
[download]

absolutely did the job and found the problem immediately. It was a Wx::Timer process that I had forgotten about starting off a little early. There seemed to be very little performance overhead, maybe the program loaded a bit slower but after that it seemed about the same as always.

Now I'd like to call it from open3 like this:


   my @array = qw(perl -d:CallTrace i-Mage.pl);
   my $child_pid = open3(
      '<&STDIN',
      ">trace.txt",
      *CHILD_ERROR,
      @array
   );
[download]

The code starts, but there is no sign of "trace.txt".

Not sure where I'vwe gone wrong.

Regards

Steve.

Sorry, but I never had any luck at all with open3() when I first tried it, as a consequence I never use it. You'll need help from someone who does. As an aside; I wasn't aware that open3(), accepted strings for the file handles. Nor does anything in the documentation lead me to believe it does.

Ok, maybe that's it. Actually, I notice now that CallTrace outputs to STDERR not STDOUT, so it wouldn't work for that reason either. Thanks for your help.	[reply]

As you're sending the output to a file, why not just?: `system q[perl -d:CallTrace i-Mage.pl 2> trace.txt];` [download] With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
