kko has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have this little scriptlet that uses IPC::Open2, and it works fine under Linux, but it tanks under OpenBSD 3.1 (using perl 5.6.1)...

Can someone Open2 the door to further enlightenment?

Here's a little sample of my code

#!/usr/bin/perl use IPC::Open2; use LWP::Simple; my $pid = open2(READER, WRITER, '/usr/local/bin/whatever'); print "opened whatever\n";
Just in case you're wondering, it never gets to print "opened whatever".....

    what does "tanks" mean?

    Did you check the IPC::Open2 notes?

    What about perldelta for OpenBSD?

    That's all I got (not having access to BSD at the moment)
