Re^6: Diagnosing blocking io (or: finding the WHY of my Open2 woes).

I'm not assuming any fault other than my own here. I have no problems with perl doing what I ask of it.

What I'm trying to determine is whether I'm asking it to do things in the right order and in the right way to accomplish my goal.

In other words, I'm trying to determine the nature of my fault. I know that I've made a mistake somewhere, either in lack of knowledge or improper approach. I know this because it doesn't work, but I'm trying to ensure that I'm doing everything right on the perl side and that my understanding is correct.

I know that perl can interact with the interpreter and receive output from it.

I know that the approach I'm trying to automate works from a terminal. I'm just trying to determine the disparity between the approach I'm taking on the terminal and my attempts to automate it so that I have a better idea of what's going on, and so that people having similar problems in the future might be able to learn from my mistakes.

But it's `js` that's behaving differently, so what you want to do is find the difference between a working run of `js` and a broken run of `js`. Then you can work out what needs to be changed.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
