For instance, if the signal handler did $ret = 100, $ret would still have a string written to it, but it would be SvIOK and not SvPOK. This fixes up the flags after the actual blocking read to make sure they are still sane. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Perl5 Master Repository
