Re^3: retrieve the value of a system call in a non blocking mode

"UPDATE moved misplaced paren"

You've removed what you originally posted so I don't know what you were attempting to fix (see "How do I change/delete my post?"). Regardless, what you now have is still not correct (I assume you didn't intend or die $! to be part of the shell command).

See the examples in the system documentation for syntax and how to check for errors. You may also find the autodie pragma of interest.

If you are unable to test your posted solutions, please clearly indicate this.

Also, what you've shown as corrections later in this thread are also wrong (for the same reason). [Update (Clarification of "later in this thread"): I'm referring to "Re^4: retrieve the value of a system call in a non blocking mode" which is later than the post I'm replying to but appears physically earlier on this page.]

Greetings, kcott. Odd. It seemed to work for me. In fact, it was by virtue of testing it. That I discovered what I termed as being a HOMER moment above, was wrong. I'm afraid I was so embarrassed by the earlier example. I corrected it. Bad choice. I'd return it. But, now, I'm afraid I'll just mess up the order worse. So for the sake of clarity. I'll post my HOMER moment here: `system("echo test > myfile.txt") or die $!;` [download] Sorry for messing things up. I'll just "suck up", and eat my mistakes in the future. Or better, take more care not make any. ;) Best wishes. --Chris Hey. I'm not completely useless. I can be used as a bad example.	[reply] [d/l]
