Hi all,
In the usual case when we code something like
<code>
open(TO_PIPE,"| sendmail blah blah") or die("$! : fork failed") ;
##do something here
close(TO_PIPE) or die("$! : bad sendmail") ;
</code>
What does perl do when it encounters the open() and the close() statements??
Especially, why can an error in sendmail can only be caught in close() and
not in open() ??
