Well, that's not a very perl way to do it.
It's probably the solution I'm going to use though.
Had I know that option existed, I would not have asked the question.
I thought I had looked everywhere for such a switch, where
on earth did you find it?
update: -interaction=nonstopmode ... is cool, but I have
basically the same problems! I don't understand why I'm
having so much trouble just cuz I'm calling this from
a CGI. I even did a 'su - nobody' and executed the commands
as they appear in the CGI (everything was keen when I typed
it by hand) :{.
another update: This problem is solved. I did use -interactive=nonstopmode, but get this:
while(<T>) {
if(m/[{]ONF ([^}]+)[}]/) {
my $v = $1;
my $sv = shift @ONFs;
push @ONFs, $v if $sv =~ /ding/;
s/ONF/$sv/;
}
s/NAME/$fields{name}/;
print U "$_";
}
#close T, U; # wasn't closing U in time!
close T;
close U;
`(
cd $dir; [ -f $tname.tex ] && latex --interaction=nonstopmode $
+tname.tex 2>/dev/null
[ -f $tname.dvi ] && dvips -f $tname.dvi
[ -f $tname.ps ] && lpr $tname.ps
)`
When I tried to close both T and U at the same time,
the tex file wasn't fully written by the time I got
to the shell fork. wtf? |
