Hi. First off, what do you mean by "building"?
Just alluding to the 'perl Makefile.PL', 'make' and 'make test' steps.
open( $handle, '-|', qw(program argument1 argument2) ) runs the process
directly
open( $handle, '| program argument1 argument2' ) runs the process via a
shell
The direct method is the "list form". Generally doing it directly is
preferable
since it bypasses the extra overhead incurred from the shell. It also
removes
the requirement for the shell to split the command string into arguments,
since
this would be done already. The error message seems to imply that the
windows
perl requires the shell. Change the script to the second form above and
try
again, if you want to experiment. If I understand the error message
correctly,
that should make it work.
The current PDL-Graphics-Gnuplot snapshot (12b0aaa) which, I take it, has
been amended to cater for this Windows quirk, "builds" ok and the test suite
passes.
Cheers,
Rob
