Re: Re: Perl script crashing at lockfile ?

You're running under taint mode and don't appear to be setting $ENV{PATH}. You can't execute external programs under taint without setting the PATH env var.

How do I set $ENV{PATH} , and what should I set it to ?

Better still is to write the lockfile code in pure Perl.

The lockfile part of the code is now in pure Perl

Thanks,

Peter

On most nix systems, the PATH environment var is a colon-delimited list of directories where programs can be executed without specifying the full path. Setting it to `/bin:/usr/bin` is typical. ---- I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.* -- Schemer Note: All code is untested, unless otherwise stated	[reply] [d/l]
