in reply to Simple stuff breaks in 5.8?

What happens if you only run 

$date=`/bin/date`;
print "date is -->$date<--";

Do you see the same odd behaviour?

    Donno. You think it'll miss a heartbeat like the other? Or is that maybe caused by the socket? I'll give it a try...

      With the following small program I didn't see any hickups at all:
      #! /usr/bin/perl -w
use warnings;

while (){
$date=`/bin/date`;
print "date is -->$date<--\n";
sleep (2);
}

        So it seems the error is not in this part of the code.
        Hence the error must be somewhere else in your code.

        As I don't have Perl 5.8, I'm afraid that I will not be of much help further.
