Have you tried printing the $! variable after the getline() call?

I was thinking of the same thing. I ran into this once, and and I believe that it was this very thing, but it was so long ago that I can't recall. I do recommend trying it, however. -- tbone1, YAPS (Yet Another Perl Schlub) And remember, if he succeeds, so what. - Chick McGee	[reply]

Good one, I have modified the code to log also the $! variable. Now we wait for the error to occur again. The question remains why these partial commands are received. Sometimes it takes up to 5 seconds to receive the second part, which might indicate that TCP packets are being delayed somewhere. Regards, Marcel	[reply]
