Re: Mac / Perl / 3D
Thanks for the various answers. I have done the Perl - POV-RAY source before, as well as Perl - 3DML text format before. I guess I could also use any scriptable drawing package (see http://www.peter.com.au/programming/scripted-drawing.html ;-) and do my own 3D conversion as necessary. None of this seems entirely satisfactory though... Thanks for the ideas.

Re: How to get a pid
I could not figure out how to get the tool process's id. But by observing, I notice that its pid is 'always' equals to child process's pid+1. PIDs can wrap, so there is no guarantee of this at all. Why do you call waitpid with -1, when you know the pid you want to wait on ($kidpid). The reason for zombies (ie, (perl)) is normally that the process has died, but no one has requested the termination status (with waidpid or its cousins). I admit to having no idea what execEggplant does. But it sounds like it is running another subprocess. Really, it needs to wait on that sub process and return when it is complete. You could use killall to find the process by name: killall -s -d Preview although that is always a bit risky if the process name is not known and unique. Otherwise you have problems.
