I have a sample program in 2 formats perl & embperl
The perl version works as a CGI but the embperl version does not work.
Any suggestions or pointers to solutions would be appreciated
OS: Linux version 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE (...) (gcc version 4.5.1 20100924 (Red Hat 4.5.1-4) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Fri Oct 22 15:27:53 UTC 2010
NOTE: I originally posted this question to perlmonks [x] and the embperl mailing list [x] but didn't get a solution.
perl working script
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use IPC::Open3;
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
my $cmd = 'ls';
my $pid = open3(*HIS_IN, *HIS_OUT, *HIS_ERR, $cmd);
close(HIS_IN); # give end of file to kid, or feed him
my @outlines = <HIS_OUT>; # read till EOF
my @errlines = <HIS_ERR>; # XXX: block potential if massive
print "STDOUT: ", @outlines, "\n";
print "STDERR: ", @errlines, "\n";
waitpid( $pid, 0 );
my $child_exit_status = $? >> 8;
print "child_exit_status: $child_exit_status\n";

Here is the output I receive
STDERR: ls: write error: Bad file descriptor
child_exit_status: 2
