Re: Bug in Perl 5.04 with return value to shell from die, after using backticks or qx

This is only a problem on 5.04, 5.05 and later is fine.

Hmmm, then the solution seems to be obvious, doesn't it? Get rid of your more than 6 year old version of Perl, and install one of: 5.004_05 (if it fixes the problem), 5.005_04, 5.6.1 or 5.8.3.

I'd like to upgrade but I need ammo. Given that the code is old and unstable should be enough, but we've got what I can politely describe as a "change averse environment". Still that is my problem of course...	[reply]

I'd like to upgrade but I need ammo. If "old version broken, new version works" doesn't do it, what does? If it's a matter of office politics, I'd rather not have those pointless discussions here. Abigail	[reply]
