( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

With unbuffered I/O, print returns undef when writing to a closed filehandle; for pipes, $! is then set to "Broken pipe". You don't get SIGPIPE after the child closed the pipe, but after an unsuccsessful write to that filehandle. I tried to use select (and IO::Select with $io->can_write()) to detect whether I can write to a filehandle before writing, to no avail. Both always report the filehandle to be apt for writing, even after receiving SIGPIPE. Only after closing the filehandle for writing in the parent (e.g. in the SIGPIPE handler) I get the expected result.

On linux, that is (debian). So, no way to check whether the end point of the pipe is still connected before writing to it.

perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'

  • 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).
