Re^3: test::harness, stderr, and child processes

Thanks. Odd. After a quick skim it looks like it should work.

Can you tell me what version of the Test::Simple distro you're using? If you're not using the latest (0.47) that might be your problem since there have been several fork-related bug fixes.

Also, I can't tell from the output whether the non-test related output is going to STDOUT or STDERR. If the bit before the ok here:

perl /home/water/dev/PerlCode/lib/Test/HighlanderTests/death.pl || tou
+ch /tmp/water/highlander.okok 5 - death is a failure, test went as pl
+anned
[download]

is going to STDOUT then Test::Harness will miss the "ok 5".

If not, let me know and I'll dig further.

Wow, you're good. `&remove; my $x = "perl $death $FAILS"; print $x; my $rc = system("perl $death $FAILS"); file_present('death is a failure');` [download] The print in second line -- don't know how that crept in there, egads -- was causing exactly the problem you described. `'++' x 1000` to you, adrianh, thanks!
