Doh!! Think I've solved it. I used $r instead of Apache2::RequestIO and it works. Plus, I forgot to uniti STDOUT before tie(ing)
Now, just gotta try it on the ever reliable RHEL 1.99!!!!!

The tied STDOUT is actually pretty well-documented in my opinion: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_perl_script_ http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/porting.html#STDIN__STDOUT_and_STDERR_streams http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/SubProcess.html#C_spawn_proc_prog_ http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/RequestIO.html There's more here about how this affects forking and system(): http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/performance.html#Starting_a_Long_Running_External_Program If there's a place in the docs where you think it would be relevant but it isn't mentioned, you're more than welcome to send in a correction. There are instructions for checking out the docs source on the website. - Perrin --------------------------------- Win tickets to the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany with Yahoo! Messenger.
