Re: fork() and waitpid() issue...

Hi Bill, Thanks for the info... I tried your suggested code... though it doesn't look functionally much different from what I had... it returned the same result... with perhaps better output logging... I'll paste the output up through the 6th child thread. -- Child: pid=0;

Re: fork() and waitpid() issue...

Bill, Yes... this works from the command-line... but I was having other fork() related issues from the command-line too... fork() emulation just isn't stable with win32... I was already trying to reason out something with Win32::Process... but I'm missing some of the magic I think in getting a

RE: win32 issue

I dont think this is enough information. What is the value of $wordfile? Im assuming youre trying to launch an instance of Microsoft Word. Is it installed on both systems? What is your permission level on the systems? What is the value of $^E?

Re: fork() and waitpid() issue...

Hi again... I've worked out how to use this... and in the CGI, I'm trying to redirect STDOUT to a file... which works fine... EXCEPT that all child processes created with Win32::Process will NOT direct their output to the file that's opened... and this is how I'm creating the processes... sub

Hi, all, I have a question about regular expression: my code is like this: ** sub IsPVob { my ($Vob) = @_; my $Output = `cleartool lsvob $Vob`; die IsPVob can't list vob $Vob if $?; return

RE: Regular expression question

Well, there are a couple of issues here. First off, I don't think this would even compile, because you used /s instead of \s. Secondly, your regex is looking for: .* zero or more of any character (unnecessary, since you didn't anchor the start

Tk beep on Win2K?

Hi folks, I'm having trouble getting the Tk::Widget method beep() to work on Win2K. It works fine on NT4. I'm using ActivePerl 5.8.4. If it makes any difference, I'm also connecting to the server via an RDP session, both cases. If I open a console window on the Win2K server, through an
