Thanks to ikegami and salva for their excellent advice.

Having been traumatized writing signal handlers in the presence of non-reentrant system libraries, switching off the signal handler via $SIG{PIPE} = 'IGNORE' is what I would choose ... though I could not restrain myself from using strace on both the calling perl process and the recalcitrant IBM MQ amqsputc, in the hope of understanding what the hell is going on.

BTW, since you share my passion for early Perl Monks history, you might enjoy the sage advice graciously contributed by faq_monk, one of PM's founding users, on Oct 8 1999 - more than two months before the Perl Monks web site opened to the general public!

Update: from perlipc:

The reason for not checking the return value from print() is because of pipe buffering; physical writes are delayed. That won't blow up until the close, and it will blow up with a SIGPIPE. To catch it, you could use this:

$SIG{PIPE} = "IGNORE"; open(my $fh, "|-", "bogus") || die "can't fork: $!"; print $fh "bang\n"; close($fh) || die "can't close: status=$?";

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
