What version of perl and in which environment? Perldoc site defaults to perl 5.10, which I think none of the distro's include yet. If you use perl 5.8 then you should switch the docs using the selection box on the top right. --Amos > for example the process's exit instruction doesn't actually do anything :D > > Some background: > * Its it a perl script that is launched from an init.d script > * The init.d script uses start-stop-daemon functionality to stop the perl > script via the pid ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to linux-il-requ...@cs.huji.ac.il with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail linux-il-requ...@cs.huji.ac.il
