Hi,

I've been trying your example, and it works great on linux (perl 5.6.1), but doesn't work on win2k (activestate perl 5.8.0). I've managed to track it down as far as the line where you call can_read, which for some odd reason appears to cause the loop to exit immediately (probably returning undef). Calling count() immediately before the can_read shows that there are still 2 file handles.

I'm a bit stuck on this one, so if anyone has any ideas, they'd be appreciated.

Thanks.

Miah.

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.
