[boulder.pm] Newbie question...

Huh!

So, like Chip, I ran the server component on HPUX 10.20 and it went perfectly.  But on two different Solaris 2.6 boxes, the while-loop just drops out as soon as the first client connection is made.  All three machines are using perl 5.005_02.  I guess I'll run it by our kernel kings, and see whether they can tell me about a difference in 'fork' on these two platforms.  Thanks, Chip, for figuring that out!  If anyone has any advice on getting this thing to work on Solaris 2.6, I'm all eyes....

That's really weird.  On the linux box, it works great, just like you would
expect.  I cut and pasted so the code that's running is just the same as you
sent.  Here's the output from the server which is still running:

[chip at wwa lab]$ ./monger.pl

I just checked it on an HPUX box running 5005_02 like you have and it worked
fine.  I was going to try it on our Solaris box but that perl is missing the
IO/Socket.pm file.  I see why you're baffled -- everything seems to work and
the code is right on at least two boxes.
