Hello Monks

Here a small program "counter.pl" I want to run as child process.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

$|=1;
print "$_\n" and select(undef,undef,undef,0.1) for 1 .. 1000;

The following code is working:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Win32::Process;
use Win32;

sub ErrorReport
{
    print Win32::FormatMessage( Win32::GetLastError() );
}

my $ProcessObj;
Win32::Process::Create($ProcessObj,
                       "C:\\Perl\\bin\\perl.exe",
                       "perl counter.pl",                       
                       1,
                       CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP,
                       ".")|| die ErrorReport();

$ProcessObj->Suspend();
sleep(1);
$ProcessObj->Resume();
sleep(1);
$ProcessObj->Suspend();
sleep(1);
$ProcessObj->Resume();
sleep(3);
$ProcessObj->Kill(0);

The process is running for a second. Then suspended, then running again for 3 seconds and then killed.

Now I made an exe out of "counter.pl" as follows:

pp -o counter.exe counter.pl

And now I am calling the "counter.exe".

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Win32::Process;
use Win32;

sub ErrorReport
{
    print Win32::FormatMessage( Win32::GetLastError() );
}

my $ProcessObj;
Win32::Process::Create($ProcessObj,
                       ".\\counter.exe",
                       "counter",
                       1,
                       CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP,
                       ".")|| die ErrorReport();

$ProcessObj->Suspend();
sleep(1);
$ProcessObj->Resume();
sleep(1);
$ProcessObj->Suspend();
sleep(1);
$ProcessObj->Resume();
sleep(3);
$ProcessObj->Kill(0);

But the code is not working anymore. The process is NOT suspended, NOT resumed and NOT killed.

Why???

Is Win32::Process NOT working with a binary file created by "pp" or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you for your help.

Dirk
