Hi,
In addition to the previously mentioned success with Solaris 2.8 I have had an opportunity to try with perl@16189 and success on: > ./perl -Ilib '-V:osname|osvers|ccversion' osname='freebsd' osvers='4.4-release' ccversion='' gccversion='2.95.3 20010315 (release) [FreeBSD]' > ./perl -Ilib '-V:osname|osvers|ccversion' osname='solaris' osvers='2.6' ccversion='Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 C 5.2 2000/09/11' gccversion='' $ ./perl -Ilib '-V:osname|osvers|ccversion' osname='cygwin' osvers='1.3.5(0.4732)' ccversion='' gccversion='2.95.3-5 (cygwin special)' Where that cygwin was running on top of MS Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]. As it is currently written with the parent sleep(5);'s and the child sleeps of 10 seconds the test itself takes a noticably long time to run any any of these platforms. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to cut the parent sleep back down to (2) seconds and the child to (4)? I've asked about further info on waitpid() on the macperl-porters list and am awaiting a reply.
