(an oi, why is that written so incredibly hard to read ???)
sorry about that.
So you see it has nothgin to do with using system it has to so
with
calling a funtion as its documented :)
Now what I have is this (let's call the script "test.pl") :
__BEGIN__
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser );
use Acme::Spork;
my $uemail = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
my $ct = "sugar";
my $nu = 10;
# Run the job at the background
spork(
sub {
my ( $ue, $con_type, $nb_un ) = @_;
system qq("perl compute_price.pl -email $ue -type $con_type -unit
$nb_un");
Ok, you do realize that with that qq() you are trygin to execute the
command "perl ..." (IE inclduing the quotes) which your shell probably
doesn't like?
$ perl -le 'print 123;'
123
$ "perl -le 'print 123;'"
-bash: perl -le 'print 123;': command not found
$
},$uemail, $ct, $nu
)
or die qq {Could not fork for spork: $!};
__END__
But why it still doesn't do the job?
I don't know, in what way is it not doing "the job"?
As a start do "a" and "b" below:
a) does it "do the job" by itself:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $ue = 'whatever';
my $con_type = 'whatever';
my $nb_un = 'whatever';
print "Running: perl compute_price.pl -email $ue -type $con_type -unit
$nb_un\n";
system "perl compute_price.pl -email $ue -type $con_type -unit $nb_un";
b) are the variables what you expect them to be in the spork()ed process?
...
spork(
sub {
my ( $ue, $con_type, $nb_un ) = @_;
# write the variables to a file here and check that file afterwards
},$uemail, $ct, $nu
) or die qq {Could not fork for spork: $!};
