Hi,
On execution of the following code snippet, I get an error as "Magic number checking on storable file failed at blib/lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into blib/lib/auto/Storable/fd_retrieve.al) line 297" The code snippet is like: while(1) { my ($rouName, $argsRef); eval { $rouName = Storable::fd_retrieve($self->{readFd}); # ----> Error line if (!defined($rouName)) { die "IO Error"; } }; if ($EVAL_ERROR =~ /IO Error/) { $errorHandle = CreateError( $COSPRC_IO_ERR ,$cosprcErrorTexts{$COSPRC_IO_ERR} ,$errorHandle ,"Storable::fd_retrieve failed in child for pipe $self->{readFd}" ); WriteAndClearError($errorHandle); exit(1); } . . . . I guess 'eval' should be used to avoid "Magic number checking..." error. But the above code already contains 'eval' and still the error exists. Any help on how to eliminate this error?
