Hi Moe, I'm in the same boat you were, so maybe you have come across this. We have just got some Sun Blades running Solaris 8 and I need to run a simple bit of perl on them. But for some reason the pipes aren't working as they should. The code forks itself into 2 tasks, the parent task checks the disk for new files then passes the filename on to the child to be processed. The problem is if the parent passes more than one filename, then the child only processes the first name. The pipes, $_, print, etc are all set up as in the Camel book. And to really annoy me, I can put the same code on one of our AIX4 boxes and it runs fine. Have you found anything about solaris 8 & perl, that might help me Thanks Paul
