Re: open2 unreliable?by Helter (Chaplain) |

I had to help someone fix an issue with IPC:Open2 a week or so ago, we were seeing all the processes turn to zombies in a Linux environment. Our problem was 2 fold, we were not flushing the buffers enough: This fixed that problem (buffer by line instead of chunk). The second problem was a little stranger (zombies invading our machines...late night sci-fi here we come!) I had to read 3 docs on IPC:Open2 before I found this on the CPAN site (IPC:Open2): You won't find this text (unfortunitly) in perldoc perlipc. Or in the Camel, at least I can't find it :) Hope this helps, and I'm not making some glaring error :)
