Re: Shell usable?

Hi !

I believe you are doing a bit too much here, this should work:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Shell qw( ls touch );


touch( "dummy" );
ls( "dummy" );

sorry, I misunderstood you saying "doing too much" I tried again not using OO style `#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Shell qw( ls touch ); touch( "dummy" ) or die "touch: $!"; ls( "dummy" ) or die "first ls: $!"; ls( "dummy" ) or die "second ls: $!";` [download] and get different error messages: `$ rm dummy $ perl shell-test.pl touch: Illegal seek at shell-test.pl line 6. $ touch dummy $ perl shell-test.pl touch: Illegal seek at shell-test.pl line 6.` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You're right. This is a silly example but imagine some intermedia processing with the dummy file ... the error pops up the second time I use the $sh->ls.	[reply]
