# from Shlomi Fish # on Sunday 24 August 2008 13:28: >This patch documents open "|-" and open "-|" in perlopentut. Perhaps it should follow the practice of single quoting non-interpolated strings like '|-' and 'fortune'? Also, the filehandle in a simple scalar $pipe does not need to be wrapped in a block when used as an argument to print. The error message could probably stand to contain $! as well. I find the md5sum example not very illustrative (because md5sum will just print the result to stdout.) What about simply restating the aforementioned lpr and netstat examples? Finally, should these examples be included *before* the references to IPC::Open2 and perlipc? --Eric -- "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." --Donald Knuth --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------
