I think it's fairly useful. I've implemented it in PoCo::Child but was hoping to hear the other ideas Robert mentioned before releasing. -----Original Message----- From: Rocco Caputo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 8:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Feedback on POE::Wheel::Run changes On Thu, Mar 06, 2003 at 11:00:26AM +1100, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I understand that there is a long-term goal to supercede POE::Wheel::Run > with a component module with the tentative title of POE::Component::Process > (http://poe.perl.org/?V1.0-TODOS) and there has been a discussion on the > mailing list previously about how the POE::Wheel::Run module could be > improved.

I think it's an interesting feature, but I don't use Wheel::Run enough to know how generally useful it is. I'm looking for more discussion on it before making any decisions. > I also have changes for username and group specification with name rather > than UID/GID, bute these changes are very minor and depends upon the > getpwnam and getgrnam functions which may affect portability of the change. > > Comments and feedback welcomed. POE::Wheel::Run is already very UNportable. We can probably work around missing get(gr|pw)nam functions, or at least throw "unsupported" errors wherever they fail. -- Rocco Caputo - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://poe.perl.org/
