Interesting. I have a couple of questions but this looks very promising. I'm a little surprised to see us intercepting popen(). If, as the comment says, we're trapping "3>&1 xterm" and "tty 1>&3", then I would think we'd want to do so and create the xterm in the child via getredirection(), which is where we do 2>&1 processing and other home-grown command-line piping activities. I might be wrong on that, but I'd like to know why. >In lib/perl5db.pl: > >OpenVMS needs to have the $term structure exist and be filled out for sub TTY >to work. I put the needed special case code in sub TTY, but there may be a >better place to put it. I've tested this part and it doesn't have the effect I expected. Specifically, when I run lib/perl5db.t, it still ignores the call to TTY and runs interactively. Is this what you thought you were fixing, or have I misunderstood? -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
