All, I've written a simple daemon to launch processes, and I check for the exit status of those processes. According to "Programming Perl", I need to use the following:
use POSIX qw(:sys_wait_h); However on OS X (no jabs or snide remarks, please, today was painful enough! =), it says: ":sys_wait_h" is not exported by the POSIX module If I remove it, it runs under OS X, but then under IRIX it takes 8+ seconds just to do a waitpid call, which is way too long for this application. With it in there, it runs instantly on IRIX. Any ideas? - B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
