Re^7: How to find perl line after segfault.

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

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

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I'm with torvalds on this

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. Agile (and TDD) debunked

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. Regards Steve.	[reply]

But then when it segfaults I wont be able to manage the crash, It would be no different if you used open3(). That also starts a separate process over which you would have no control.

Well, with open3(), I can use waitpid and then read (error); which allows me some control over what happens next, if I just did `system ("perl -d:CallTrace Foo.pl");` [download] Wouldn't it just crash? Maybe not, I should probably try it. Regards Steve.	[reply] [d/l]
