[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi. Although this is a follow-up to my and Ion-Mihai Tetcu's corespondence, freebsd-perl@ folks, please bear with me till the end. Ion-Mihai, I've finally managed to locate the source of p5-Wx-Perl-ProcessStream's core dumping (at least on 8-CURRENT). It comes from p5-Wx memory leaks problems on which p5-Wx-Perl-ProcessStream depends on, which in turn comes from Perl trying to directly manipulate environment (see Envinronment access section: http://search.cpan.org/~rgarcia/perl-5.10.0/INSTALL#Environment_access). I'm currently testing a small patch for p5-Wx to try forcing the use of FreeBSD's putenv() and if it'll work then p5-Wx-Perl-ProcessStream issue should be resolved. But I think forcing Perl itself to use putenv() (-DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV compilation flag) might be a solution worth at least a though. It would not only solve my problem but I believe other (like ports/131664) too. And here comes a question to skv@ and free-ports@: what do you think about it? In attachment I'm sending a patch for lang/perl5.10/Makefile but I think this should work for perl5.8 as well. -- Cezary Morga [-- Attachment #2 --] --- lang/perl5.10/Makefile.orig 2009-04-11 14:51:22.000000000 +0200 +++ lang/perl5.10/Makefile 2009-06-26 11:06:10.000000000 +0200 @@ -52,7 +52,8 @@ -Dsiteman1dir=${PREFIX}/man/man1 \ -Ui_malloc -Ui_iconv -Uinstallusrbinperl \ -Dcc="${CC}" -Duseshrplib -Dinc_version_list=none \ - -Dccflags=-DAPPLLIB_EXP=\"${BSDPAN_DEST}\" + -Dccflags=-DAPPLLIB_EXP=\"${BSDPAN_DEST}\" \ + -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV -A append:ccflags=" -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV" LOCALE_CLEANUP= LANG="" LC_ALL="" LC_COLLATE="" LC_CTYPE="" \ LC_MESSAGES="" LC_MONETARY="" LC_NUMERIC="" \ LC_TIME=""
