Re: Loss of stdout and stderr in embedded Perl [SOLVED]

[Jeremy Redburn]

For others' reference, the issue I was running into was that the parent 
pool interpreter was alloc'ed and construct'ed, but it turns out I 
needed to actually run it to force it to tie STDOUT + STDERR (and, 
presumably, STDIN). So now I have something like this:

char *argv[] = { "", "-e", "0" };
perl_parse(perl, NULL, 3, argv, NULL);
perl_run(perl);
If I do that before I start cloning the children, everything works 
great. Thanks to everyone who pitched in ideas.

Hello, I have some code which maintains a pool of Perl interpreters 
in C and allocates an interpreter as requests come in. It works well 
enough, but I have run into an issue that my embedded Perl code 
cannot print to STDOUT or STDERR. 


What happens - what does $! show?

I have this statement in my code:
print STDERR "Testing" || print LOG "Error: $!"
Nothing gets printed to the terminal, and LOG doesn't have any 
content. I can print to LOG fine if I do it directly.

Thanks to Garry Williams, I realized this of course will not work. When 
I change '||' to 'or' I do get an error:

Error: Bad file descriptor
Any ideas?
