No matter what I have tried, I cannot get readpipe to read an argument.
I did a search on deja.com and found a couple of references to patches
in the perl.porters-gw forum to 'fix' something like this problem with Perl version 5.00557.
The version running at this site is 5.00503.
Anyone have experience with this problem? Do you recommend the upgrade?
#This works great:
system "$document_root/cgi-bin/print_state_option.pl",$edit_fields{state};
#This fails to pass the arguments:
$fields{'print_state_popup'} =
readpipe "$document_root/cgi-bin/print_state_option.pl",$fields{state};
#the code doesn't crash, it just never sees the arguments
