I've been playing with it and have a problem. For some reason building the thread version breaks the perl primitive of command in-lining (ie the back-tic). I traced it to the point of when exec is called, stdio doesn't get sent back through the pipe. I hacked a quick test case to write to stdout and then exit instead of calling exec. This worked. I wrote a small program to test this feature with threads and it worked fine. So I figure perl is setting something that is causing this to break. Unfortunately I haven't figured out any more details on this problem. Doug A. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
