I mentioned my issues with CyberCash yesterday, and I've been trying to work some of the bugs out of the implementation. But I seem to be having problems with their using IPC::open2. Basically, they use separate binaries to encrypt data and decrypt data that is to be sent to their server. The chunk of encrypted data is then sent over a basic, unencrypted http request. They're essentially doing this: IPC::Open2::open2(\*CIPHER, \*PLAINTEXT, '/foo/bar/encryption_binary') or die.... print PLAINTEXT "A Bunch Of Text To Be Encoded"; close(PLAINTEXT); my $EncryptedData = <CIPHER>; &SomethingWithEncryptedData($EncryptedData); close(CIPHER); And they do the reverse when they get a response. Sometimes it works, but most of the time, it warns that $EncryptedData is uninitialized and CyberCash pukes. I'm assuming that something weird is going on and the open2 is failing. Is this something that can reasonably be done under mod_perl? Any workarounds? Also, in the documentation for IPC it mentions that it won't return failure, but throws an exception. It doesn't look like CyberCash took this into account. What is the best way to fix it and catch the error? (I know this is more Perl than mod_perl...) Ideas are very welcome. Details: Apache 1.3.12 Linux 2.2.14-6.1.1smp mod_perl 1.24 mod_ssl 2.6.6-1.3.12 perl 5.6.0 Thanks in advance...
