Re: Re: Re: How to run POE as a daemon

I have no idea what POE is but that code is already dodgy to begin with. Perhaps this is a usage I'm not familar with but I'd normally write open(STDERR, '>&STDOUT'); as *STDERR = *STDOUT instead. There are no  or die "Couldn't open ...: $!" tests on the open() calls. It'd be interesting if you'd stick some print() calls around that script and let us know which line it's cheffing on.

Please log in if you wish to comment on somebody's code looking "dodgy". Yes, this is a usage you're not familiar with. Please read perldoc -f open. The "or die" is skipped because this is for a presentation - it has to fit on a slide and be visual and understandable by the attendees in the few seconds that I have to show it to them. Plus if you can give me a reason they might fail on a unix system I'll be a lot more interested in your comment ;-)
