Re: mod_perl and lazy zombies

Would calling local on the filehandle do any good?

Like so:

local (*RPC);
open(RPC,"/bin/rpcinfo -p foo|") or die ...
while(<RPC>) {
   # do something with the output
}

No - I tried it and the zombies appear. Even though it is now local because I'm running under mod_perl the local variable stays in existance because there has been no exit from the enclosing block. Pete	[reply]

so : `{ local(*RPC); #... }` [download] should be ok ? Perhaps it's the same than using IO::File. Anyway, I prefer the second solution : IO::File :)	[reply] [d/l]
