[comp.lang.perl] More fun with chat2.pl and select.pl

frechett@spot.Colorado.EDU (-=Runaway Daemon=-) (05/29/91)

I posted that select couldn't call chat2.pl routines.. Well I 
decided to try a different tack.. I put all of chat2.pl inside
select.pl and then changed the called approriately and this is what I 
found.. It crashed when open_prog calls _getpty at the line.

	$_PTY =~ s/^([^']+)$/(caller)[$[]."'".$1/e;

I haven't a clue.. Someone suggested a recursion test of perl but
I don't have full access to the source code. Or at least I can't change
anything if I find it.  Any ideas?
