Re: Using STDIN after exec() with ActiveState Perl

Simple.. Drop the exec. :)

What's your intention anyway?

Better just use pure Perl solutions instead if depending on OS features respectively their (incomplete) emulation.

I need the exec because I have to adjust the environment variables seen by perl at launch time (see programatically setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the exact reason).	[reply]

Ehm... What's wrong with setting $ENV{PATH} in a BEGIN block? update Providing you are not allowed to set the correct environment in the registry. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply]

windows doesn't have LD_LIBRARY_PATH	[reply]

I know. I use PATH instead on Windows and it works. The only problem is this STDIN being multiplexed. edit: actually it's not even for the PATH environment variable that I need the exec, it's for setting an environment variable that can be seen by a dynamic library called by my script.	[reply]
