Re^2: IO::Select & ssh problem

[cmv]

ikegami++ Thanks for your response.

The output from $! is "Illegal seek"

Am I doing something I'm not supposed to be doing? Can anyone else get this to work?

Thanks

-Craig

Update:

Also, I'm also seeing an error when I run the following code:

...
my @cmd = (cat => ( '/etc/passwd' ));

open(IFILE, '-|', @cmd) || die "Bad ssh open";
...

The error is: Can't use an undefined value as filehandle reference at ...

The perl version being run is: v5.6.1 built for sun4-solaris-64int

However, this code does run fine on perl 5.8

Update 2:

However, this seems to work:

...
my @cmd = (cat => ( '/etc/passwd' ));
open (IFILE, '-|') || exec @cmd;
...
