Uhh, that's a very odd file name you have there. I don't think you're doing what you think you're doing. You should check the status of your open, and include the $! variable in any message if the open fails. See the open documentation for samples (or 'perldoc -f open'). (update: I realize its a FileHandle object, but the open method is just a front end to the open function).

Amazingly enough, it works. What's not working is the close. The close() does not tear down ALL of the processes.	[reply]

Amazingly enough, it works Not really, according to your reply to Abigail-II below, you are doing a pipe open. The above code is not doing that. See my reply elsewhere for a link to something which might work for you.	[reply]
