Hi all, I'm writing a Mason component which I want it to call another Perl script and not return from it. That is, say I have component A:
* call component B * start Perl script C in background * call component D So, I want component A (and the results of B and D) displayed first while script C is running. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience in doing fork/exec in a regular Perl script. But, reading the documentation, I thought an "exec ($cmd)" would do the trick. However, I'm getting this error: ----- Error during compilation Statement unlikely to be reached <line after the exec ()>. (Maybe you meant system() when you said exec()?) ----- I found a posting from last year describing this (http://marc.info/?l=mason&m=114590348207236&w=2) which seems a bit complicated and I haven't yet fully digested yet. I am just wondering if what it says is still valid (for Apache2, mod_perl2, etc.). Thanks!
