Hi Monks,

I found the problem!

I have perl 5.8.8 installed with IPC::Open3 1.02. Now the problem is that Open3.pm just croaks if the call of exec() failed - it should call exit instead of croak: 
168         exec @cmd # XXX: wrong process to croak from
169             or croak "$Me: exec of @cmd failed";

Now, there exists a IPC::Open3 with the same version - 1.02 - in perl 5.10.0, but the code is slightly different and correct: 
265     exec @cmd or do {
266         carp "$Me: exec of @cmd failed";
267         eval { require POSIX; POSIX::_exit(255); };
268         exit 255;
269     };

That is really annoying! The versions are the same but the code is not identical and I have no chance to "upgrade" Open3.pm - only if I copy the code down to my disk.

Cheers
