Dear all. I'm a novice perl user. I'm using perl to read a large amount of data but not overly large. So I'm confused why it's hanging. By hanging I mean just sitting there. The state is "S" or sometimes "R" Everywhere I read says to use while ($line = <FILE>) and I did that from the start but still not working. Here is my code:
open (FIND_OUTPUT , "$CT find . -version'brtype($branch)' -print -all
+|");
# I only tried to flush the buffer because it's hanging
# But still doesn't work
select((select(FIND_OUTPUT), $|=1)[0]);
while ($line = <FIND_OUTPUT>) {
($filename = $line) =~ s/(.*)@@.*/\1/;
($version = $line)=~ s/(.*)@@(.*)/\2/;
#... do a bunch of line processing and put line in hash
$ccase_filehash{$filename} .= ";" . $version;
}
close FIND_OUTPUT;
foreach $key (keys %ccase_filehash) {
print "$key: $ccase_filehash{$key} \n";
}
When that failed then I tried to write the output to a file instead. That works, the file gets written correctly and it's only 800 KB. But then it hangs either processing the file or printing out the hash
system ("$CT find $vob -version 'brtype($branch)' -print $all > /tmp/f
+ind.out");
open (FIND_OUTPUT , "/tmp/find.out");
# This doesn't help but I put it in anyway
select((select(FIND_OUTPUT), $|=1)[0]);
while ($line = <FIND_OUTPUT>) {
($filename = $line) =~ s/(.*)@@.*/\1/;
($version = $line)=~ s/(.*)@@(.*)/\2/;
#... do a bunch of line processing and put line in hash
$ccase_filehash{$filename} .= ";" . $version;
}
foreach $key (keys %ccase_filehash) {
print "$key: $ccase_filehash{$key} \n";
}
I should note that when the output of the CT command is smaller then the script doesn't hang. I also tried this without the "select" line to flush the buffer and also didn't work.

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).
