Well, after some more fiddling and researching, I figured this
problem out.
Using the modified command:
system(@formatdb_cmd) == 0 or die("Could not run command:
@formatdb_cmd\nReturn status: $?\nMessage: $!");
I found out that my error message is:
No child processes
It turns out that in Catalyst, $SIG{CHLD} = 'IGNORE'. Setting $SIG
{CHLD} to 'DEFAULT' makes the system() calls return the proper status.
I assume that you do this like this:
{
local $SIG{CHLD} = 'DEFAULT';
system('my system command');
}
Does doing something similar around $class->handle_request; in
Catalyst/Engine/HTTP.pm make it work in a generic way so that you
don't have to do this hack locally?
And is there any chance you could write a simple test which shows the
return values being lost, so that we can properly fix this in
Catalyst, with appropriate regression testing?
