Category: MacPerl Application Group: Release 5.6.1r* Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Infinite loop/Cannot Exit Initial Comment: if a script that is awaiting input from STDIN is aborted, MacPerl enters a condition where it cannot be exited. Assume the following script: __BEGIN__ print "Enter string: "; $string = <>; print $string; __END__ 1. Run Script 2. Hit command-. to abort script. 3. try to exit MacPerl, run another script, etc. MacPerl now enters a condition where it is impossible to abort the applciation without cmd- opt-esc. The camel-beachball cursor continually runs as if executing. if, however, after hitting cmd-. to abort script you hit ctrl-d, the script will abort normally. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107940&aid=542154&group_id=7940
