Hi all, I have some code I'm porting to mod_perl2, running on ubuntu jaunty. The code is below. In a request handler, I'm simply opening a file, writing a little data, closing it. Simplicity itself. This code ran for years and years on mod_perl1. I ported it unchanged (this snippet, unchanged -- I made all the appropriate mod_perl2 conversions), and now running it causes intermittent "inappropriate ioctl for device" errors. I read somewhere that this may have to do with mod_perl2 needing to retie filehandles, but that would seem like a big change from mp1. Any thoughts? 
my $file = "/tmp/foobar.txt"; #dir perms 777
open (FILE, ">$file") or die "ERROR: can't create $file: $!\n";
print FILE "the quick brown fox, etc.\n" or die "ERROR: $!\n";
close FILE or die "ERROR: closing $file $!\n";
