Hi folks,

I'm having trouble with a waitpid() call on VMS Perl 5.005_03 and
just need to know, please, if there is a work-around or if this is
a known problems.  (Work-arounds involving upgrades are probably
not an option around here right now, unfortunately.)

The command is a simple

    my $pid = waitpid( -1, &POSIX::WNOHANG );

which on Solaris (correctly) doesn't hang.  On VMS this hangs with
no error reported.

Anyone have an idea?  I didn't see anything in the Archives... or
CPAN...  is the non-blocking waitpid just not implemented?

Thanks
--- Simon
