I have some code that uses IPC::Open3, and I've discovered (the hard way)
that it doesn't work under MP2 and Apache 2.2.6. What is the "best
practices" way of doing this under MP2?
eval {
local $SIG{ALRM} = sub { die "alarm\n" };
alarm 30; # 30 seconds is more than enough for bogofilter to run
$child = open3($ichld, $ochld, undef, @cmd);
print $ichld $param->{'message'}, "\n";
close($ichld);
@response = <$ochld>;
waitpid $child, 0;
alarm 0;
};
I would prefer a solution that doesn't require adding a new CPAN module to
our dependencies list, but if that's the only way, then I'll do it. This has
to run in both MP2 and non-MP environments, so Apache::SubProcess probably
isn't going to help me...
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Randy
