Fellow monks,

I promised this update about a week ago or more, but forgot. For this failure, I deeply apologize.

However, I did the testing I promised.

The findings are rather interesting. On a Linux system, $! only returns a 'Bad File Descriptor' message when called immediately after qx(). I tried calling $! empty, and it returned nothing.

Perhaps someone knows how the $! is tied to the handle used to return info from qx() ?

Peace be you, monks.
