Re: Cloning a perl program on Win32

Bill, The code works fine as a standalone script... however it doesn't accomplish the task of letting the parent die off... I looked at the docs for fork() and found this tidbit: If the parent process is killed (either using Perl's kill() builtin, or using some external means) all the pseudo-pr

Cloning a perl program on Win32

I need to run my perl program as a clone because I am calling it from within another application that intend to talk back to. The application's execute command wants to wait until the call to perl program is finished before continuing. I had this working at one time and now it seems to not work (

Some UNIX implementations have fuser. I know AIX does for sure. I just checked FreeBSD and it does not. Your mileage may vary. See http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xcu/fuser.html At 09:13 AM 10/7/2004 -0700, Davis, Dan T wrote: Content-class: urn:content-classes:message Content-

Checking file for use

Title: Checking file for use Does anyone know how to check to see if a file is currently open and being used by someone?  I can't seem to find it in the documentation.  I want to make sure a file is not being written to before I move it... Thanks, Dan

Re: I asked for dates and got figs instead

I think your conclusion about a one-to-one correspondence with the date is completely incorrect. There are 86400 seconds in a day, not 10. Perhaps that explains your date offset? (10 - 86400 = 13600 seconds per day of 'leakage'?) There is also no relationship between utc time and localtime

Gentle Readers, I'm trying to eliminate the calculation of Julian Day Numbers from a file aging script (yes, still). I hit on the clever idea of using directly the mtime and atime figures returned by stat() and comparing them with the number returned by time(), which would be "today". Clever boy

Just an FYI: Note that the get can write directly to a scalar. $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://www.bradenton.com/mld/bradenton/rss/9837290.htm'); Eliminating the need for the join command. Basil "$Bill Luebkert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/10/2004 07:15 PM
