in thread How to find perl line after segfault.

Ok, maybe that's it.

Actually, I notice now that CallTrace outputs to STDERR not STDOUT, so it wouldn't work for that reason either.

Thanks for your help.

    As you're sending the output to a file, why not just?:

    system q[perl -d:CallTrace i-Mage.pl 2> trace.txt];

      Well I shall probably have to do that, But then when it segfaults I wont be able to manage the crash, It'll just be a case of restarting the application. I suppose since I have a crash file (the trace.txt), I can look for trace.txt files at the startup of a programme and then do whatever I need to.

        It would be no different if you used open3(). That also starts a separate process over which you would have no control.
