all,

Thanks for the replies. I'm trying to use only modules that are in the default perl distribution because my sysops won't install anything else (thanks, guys). This is the 5.8.2 distribution on my AIX host.

IPC::Run is not available in the 5.8.2 distribution.

I've made it work be reading STDIN and STDERR in separate loops. Not elegant at all but it works on Windows. I expect I'll have to make changes when it is installed on AIX.

Thanks, Bill

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


No such thing as a small change
