Hi all - I am developing a perl 5.8 application using the new threading model. I use this technique (thanks Jenda!) to dup STDIN to a temp file handle: ... open SAVIN, '<&STDIN'; open (STDIN,'<&' . $tmpfh->fileno) or die "..."; my $out = `some-command 2>&1`; open STDIN, '<&SAVIN'; close $tmpfh; ... in various threads. All works - the command run reads from STDIN and output to STDOUT (maybe STDERR also). I get the output in $out.
My question: how 'global' is STDIN? Must I place a lock on some dummy shared variable when using STDIN in a thread, in other words, will all threads 'see' the dup of STDIN? Aloha => Beau; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
