I can't post a direct example now (because I don't have access to the machine from here), but I'm pretty sure I do have an example of open2() working under mod_perl in Linux--in a perl that is not compiled with sfio. That's why I thought it was a Mac OS X bug. The mod_perl guide talks about the output from system(), exec(), and open(F, "| ...") not being sent to the browser, but it doesn't mention open2(). In the case of open2(), the input and output is supposed to be tied to filehandles that I supply, not connected to mod_perl's (tied?) STDOUT that eventually goes to the browser. So could you clarify why open2() is not expected to work under mod_perl, and why it seems to work for me in Linux? (I'll post the working Linux example once I can confirm it on Monday.) -John
