Close I think but there must be more to it. If that is the case why does the child not run on through the rest of the code when the die is not in effect like fork would.
# if forked why did the child not print done too ?
nph>perl -MIPC::Open3 -le'print "dad: $$";eval{$pid=open3(*IN,*OUT,*ER
+R,@ARGV)};print "kid: $pid";print "$$ $@" if($@);print <OUT>;print "d
+one $$"' ec>
dad: 42996
kid: 22394
Hi
done 42996
# fork does ...
nph>perl -MIPC::Open3 -le'print "dad: $$";eval{$pid=fork};print "kid:
+$pid";print "$$ $@" if($@);print <OUT>;print "done $$"' echo Hi
dad: 33442
kid: 27366
done 33442
nph>kid: 0
done 27366
