re: Opening with a pipe

[William Black]

Hello I have the following driver script that calls two perl scripts to run 
them asyn.  The driver calls the open command for both scripts but the pgm 
just hangs and never finishes.  Does anyone know why?

Driver:
open (DAL,"C:\temp7\backup\temp1.pl");
open (DAL,"C:\temp7\backup\temp2.pl");
while (!-e "C:\temp7\backup\temp2.done"){}
while (!-e "C:\temp7\backup\temp1.done"){}
close(DAL);
close(STL);
temp1.pl
$i=0;
while ($i<500){$i += 1;}
system(echo complete > C:\temp7\backup\temp1.done);


temp2.pl
$i=0;
while ($i<500){$i += 1;}
system(echo complete > C:\temp7\backup\temp2.done);
