Hi, Two things :
- What is it meant to do?
- What is the output in both versions of ActivePerl?
You might also put the Perl code in 'code' tags - See this node for guidance and this node for information on linking to other resources.
Good luck!

Seems to work ok in builds 817 and 638 (which is the oldest perl I have):
D:\pscrpt>perl try.pl
Help!
Help me!
Why are you still using perl 5.6 ? (Just curious.)

Works for me on per v5.8.8b816.

Help Me!
Is there a reason you are using an older build? If not, have you tried updating your Active Perl distrubution? | [reply]

How odd, someone by the name of "Norio Suzuki" seems to have reported the exact same bug back in 2001, and it was indeed fixed in ActivePerl build 630.
------- Description from SUZUKI, Norio 2001-11-06 14:36
The script shown below works on ActivePerl build 629,
but not works on build 630.
---^
system "echo Help!";
system "command/c echo Help me! > help.tmp";
open FILE, "type help.tmp |";
@file = <FILE>;
close FILE;
for (@file) {print}
---$
--chargrill
s**lil*; $*=join'',sort split q**; s;.*;grr; &&s+(.(.)).+$2$1+; $; =
qq-$_-;s,.*,ahc,;$,.=chop for split q,,,reverse;print for($,,$;,$*,$/)

Why are using system to send text to the display and a file when print will do the same thing without the overhead involved in making system calls? | [reply] |
Which version of perl are ActivePerl builds 629 and 630?
| [reply] |
Builds 629 and 630 are perl 5.6.1.
Cheers,
Rob
