I have created a named pipe (FIFO) I would like a perl program to read from. I would like the program to block on an attempted read when the pipe is empty. How can I do this? I presume the right usage of ioctl or fcntl will do it, but I have not hit the right combination. Please e-mail your answer to me. Many thanks! ================================================================ Porter B. Taylor Phone: 617-271-3286 MailStop: K319 E-mail: pbtaylor@mdf.mitre.org MITRE Burlington Rd.
