Re: Problem with IPC:RUN on Windows

["Manoj Bist" <suppressed>]

My understanding is that a perl module that manipulates stdout is not expected to work under mod_perl.  IPC::Run manipulates stdout to make different processes connected by pipes work. 

You can also go through the following guidelines for porting your scripts to mod_perl.

http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/porting.html#Output_from_system_calls

The following links has guidelines on running subprocesses from mod_perl.

Dear all....

It has been difficult to subscribe to the mailing list, I was refused due
to some SPAM control when using my usual account suppressed. I
would really like to know why that happened, as we do not send nor have
we ever sent SPAM.

But to my problem with IPC.....

I am using W2K on a dual CPU system running Apache 2.2.4  with mod_perl2.
I am also using Leon Brocard's Graphviz module to create graphs on the
fly, it starts the program dot.exe via IPC::RUN. dot.exe gets started
but never returns anything and stays in queue until the system is shut
down.

Does anyone know if this is a known problem with IPC::RUN on Windows,
and/or if it can be resolved and how.

Thanks.
