What is the "same" error? It's kind of hard to troubleshoot un(der)specified problems.

Yes, you are right. The error is this:

pp2@europa:~/LGRID-Machine/examples/matrixproduct/open2$ ./matrix_grid
+.pl

+file or directory

If I uncomment the sleep in

pp2@europa:~/LGRID-Machine/examples/matrixproduct/open2$ sed -ne '153,
+168p' matrix_grid.pl
foreach (@str_handles) {
  my $pid = $pm->start and next;

  $b = syswrite $_->{handle},
           join(" ",
                  $_->{chunksize},
                  $_->{A_cols},
                  @A_lines[$_->{start}.. $_->{end}],
                  @B_lines,
                  "\cN"
               );
  # Wait until the writing has finished
  # sleep(1);
  $pm->finish;
}

It goes OK:

pp2@europa:~/LGRID-Machine/examples/matrixproduct/open2$ ./matrix_grid
+.pl
Process 0: machine = bw received result
Process 1: machine = beowulf received result
Process 2: machine = europa received result

I know is still very cryptic. Apologies.
