If you are doing some sort of shared > streams you could maybe increment the perlio refcnt? No shared streams here, I'm afraid. The shared file open business just lets you control whether or not other processes can also read and/or write a file that you've just opened. Sort of like flock(), only mandatory rather than advisory. And in my reply to Yves I showed exactly the same problem crops up with plain old fopen() too. So presumably something is wrong somewhere in PerlIO-land that causes the refcnt to be decremented too far, and this new croak() is simply revealing a bug that has probably been there since the year dot? -- ------------------------------------------------ Radan Computational Ltd.
