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

Oh Brothers and Sisters in perl I beg the fruits of your wisdom.

I have a simple script I am using to get the hang of IPC::open3. When I do the open I wrap it in an eval and die if it failed. The die however does not happen until after the rest of the script is done.

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use IPC::Open3; my($in, $out, $err, $pid); open( $out, ">&STDOUT" ) or die "Can't dup STDOUT to OUTPUT: $!\n"; open( $err, ">&STDERR" ) or die "Can't dup STDERR to OUTERR: $!\n"; eval { $pid = open3($in, $out, $err, @ARGV) }; die "open3 gave trouble: $@\n" if $@; print "It is running\n"; close $in; print "stdout:\n"; print while <$out>; close $out; print "stderr:\n"; print while <$err>; close $err; __END__ # this is expected ./open3 echo "Hello World" It is running stdout: Hello World stderr: # this is confusing the proverbial out of me ./open3 nosuchcommand It is running stdout: stderr: open3 gave trouble: open3: exec of nosuchcommand failed at ./open3 lin +e 15 # The die obviosly ran but the code did not die, # ran to completion regardless then printed the error

Cheers,
R.

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.
