Hi all,
I've released the latest pre-0.01 Inline::Java on http://ttul.org/~patrick
I've changed the way commands are executed somewhat to make it more portable
and ease execution
on Windows. I've tested successfully on Solaris 2.5.1/Perl 5.6 and
Win98/ActiveState Perl 5.6.0 623.
Inline::Java tries to determine if it is running on Win95/98/ME (i.e.
command.com), and then adjust's it's behavior in order to work on those
platforms, which are significantly different than WinNt/2000 (even if $^O is
always 'MsWin32').
For those interested, under command.com:
- Quoted commands always return 0 status
- Command redirected to a file always return 0 status
- 2>&1 redirection doesn't work
If for some reason you are running under command.com and Inline:Java doesn't
pick it up, use can set PERL_INLINE_JAVA_COMMAND_COM=1. Needless to say I've
become very frustrated with command.com...
Why bother with Win95/98/ME? I'ts all I got on the Windows side...
What I really would like is a positive test (or bugs) on Linux and
WinNT/2000.
These I can't test myself.
Thanks a lot and as usual all feedback is appreciated.
Cheers,
Patrick LeBoutillier
