Very tedious two-hour meeting this afternoon. It shouldn't have been that long because we're only supposed to go over the highlights of the week, but it descended into trivia. Sigh.

But I have cured my zombie problem. $pipe->close is much better than close($pipe).

At this point in time I an disinclined to write the horrible email about help texts etc. but I will have to unleash the bikeshedders at some point...

Pub time, methinks.

Can't go expecting strategic thinking from geeks, can you? Always happiest at the lowest available abstraction.

Why? Don't they decompose to the same invocation?

Pub time, methinks.

Indubitably.

The $pipe->close method call does a waitpid as well as doing a close($pipe) call to the builtin function. Obviously. (hem hem)

But I still have some zombies escaping from somewhere. This is most irritating. (chiz)
