Hi Browser UK, 

perl -d:CallTrace i-Mage.pl 2> trace.txt

[download]

absolutely did the job and found the problem immediately. It was a Wx::Timer process that I had forgotten about starting off a little early. There seemed to be very little performance overhead, maybe the program loaded a bit slower but after that it seemed about the same as always.

Now I'd like to call it from open3 like this: 


   my @array = qw(perl -d:CallTrace i-Mage.pl);
   my $child_pid = open3(
      '<&STDIN',
      ">trace.txt",
      *CHILD_ERROR,
      @array
   );

[download]

The code starts, but there is no sign of "trace.txt".

Not sure where I'vwe gone wrong.

Regards

Steve.
