Hi, the child process is probably setting O_NONBLOCK on STDIN. Does it help if you do something like use Fcntl qw(F_GETFL F_SETFL O_NONBLOCK); $flags = fcntl(STDIN, F_GETFL, 0) or die "Can't get flags for STDIN: $!\n"; $flags = fcntl(STDIN, F_SETFL, $flags & ~O_NONBLOCK) or die "Can't set flags for STDIN: $!\n"; after the child process has returned?
