fork/pipe on windows
Message ID:

i am trying to use the fork/pipe examples at the end of perlfork
(5.8). when i run the pipe_to_fork example it works. the pipe_from_fork
just hangs.
in the docs for open there is coverage of open(FILEHANDLE, "<&=$fd")
(which is used in pipe_to_fork)
but there in no mention of the other direction which would be
open(FILEHANDLE, ">&=$fd") which is used in pipe_from_fork.
so there is either a bug in open in not supporting
open(FILEHANDLE, ">&=$fd") or in the perlfork doc for mentioning it and
showing a broken example.
any ideas or answers?
thanx,
uri
