Re^7: Stuttering Children (shared seek)

[cmv]

++tye thanks for this post. These are the kinds of responses that keep me coming back here.

I've redesigned my code to avoid using __DATA__ in forked children, but I still want to know why this is happening and what's going on.

It's like an itch I can't scratch...

Your post gave me new things to think about. Maybe others can help out as well, or a flash of insight will hit me and all will become clear. If that happens (fingers-crossed) I'll be sure to post.

Thanks

Then you should re-run this type of experiment in your environment while using strace (or truss, or whatever it is called on your version of Solaris) to see what Perl is actually asking of the OS. Also, put more data at the end than Perl will read into buffers (how much that needs to be should become clear after looking at the first strace output).
