<TimToady> nr: my $lines = +qx[tput lines]; my $cols = +qx[tput cols]; say "$lines $cols"; <TimToady> how come, when I run that program, it reports 24x80 rather than the actual dimensions of my terminal? <masak> TimToady: no idea. works locally. <masak> no wait. <masak> 24 80 <masak> here too. <flussence> 35×116 on mine... <masak> flussence: did you run tput directly? <masak> (like I did first) <flussence> I copy-pasted that line into the repl <masak> on the repl it works. <masak> just not with -e <flussence> oh, yeah. 24 80 here * masak submits rakudobug <skids> LINES and COLUMNS are not exported by shell <flussence> I'm betting it's libreadline doing something on its own to get the numbers <flussence> which then causes them to be defined for tput * TimToady wonders if something's closing STDIN <skids> it works if you export LINES; export COLUMNS even if you resize after doing so. <TimToady> skids: um, that's not going to help after you've started the program <TimToady> turns out niecza closes STDIN on qx[] (or attaches to /dev/null), but that doesn't explain rakudo's behavior <TimToady> if I replace tput with cat, rakudo lets me type in a number, and it comes back out
