Running under mod_perl/Apache I have the following snippet open(RPC,"/bin/rpcinfo -p foo|") or die ...
while(<RPC>) {
# do something with the output
}
Because of laziness I didn't bother to close (RPC); but
I noticed that zombies for sh and rpcinfo were appearing. They went away when I added the close.
I guess that it is expected given that the purpose of mod_perl is to keep the module loaded but I was surprised not to have come across this anywhere in the documentation.
Can someone confirm that this is expected behaviour - if not perhaps it shows that something is wrong with my mod_perl/Apache configuration.

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).
