Esteemed monks,
My monstrous Win32 app has, inevitably, been installed on a machine running VIsata (Business edition). To start and external editor to edit email documents I use the code:
@command = ( "gc_edemail.exe", $::cini_global->{newsletter}->{email_
+template_file} );
print "Now actually execute the command to edit \n";
if ( system( 1, @command) == 0 ) {
print "Command: @command executed and returned 0\n";
}
else {
if ( $? == -1 ) {
print "failed to execute: $!\n";
}
else {
printf "child ran with value %d\n", $? >> 8;
}
}
Which appears to execute normally (the editor opens and the main programme prints the "child ran with value..." portion.
But Vista pops up a window which says "..Application Name.. has stopped working." WHen you clear that dialogue the main programme closes and the child (the editor) is left, fully functioning.
Any clues? jdtoronto

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
