in reply to system() behaviour within object(class) instance

What exactly is your criterion for determining that the program "works" or not? Are you running this on a Unix-like OS?

What you report is not the expected behavior which suggests that it depends on the specifics of your code (including the specific system call). I'd need to see more real code than what you show in your reply to castaway. Could you come up with a small script that reproduces the behavior you describe? I find that in the process of producing such a scriptlet the source of the problem becomes apparent.

    Yes, i am running fedora core 3 (perl version is 5.8.5 - the latest that is provided as fedora-style rpm).

    I think if you read my first post thoroughly you will see what are my critera for determining that the program works. I can only say that i am computing some result and write it the to the database and, as i said several times, when i issue system without & it does not work, otherwise - it works.

    I will try to reproduce this behaviour with a small script but when i have time to do it. Of course, if I find it wrong that means it should be a bug? and, of course, i should try with the latest version somehow. What I was eager to know is whether s.o. has experienced smth. like this or can tell me something that i might be missing.

    10x for your attention :)
