[Jim] It's still unclear to me what the first argument of system(), 1, is for…
[ambrus] For the first argument of system being 1, please see perldoc perlport.
I know about this fleeting reference; I've read it before. But this is all it says about wait() and waitpid():
Can only be applied to process handles returned for processes spawned using system(1, ...) or pseudo processes created with fork(). (Win32)
Huh? It doesn't explain the peculiar and non-orthogonal first argument, 1.
Thank you again, ambrus.
Jim
