Hi everybody,

I have a Perl script which is fine on Slackware 12.2 32bit and fails on
Slackware 13.0 64bit. Perl 5.10.0 on both systems.

The problem occurs with system calls. e.g. system("date");

If I execute a system call as the first command in the script then all is
OK. But if I execute a system call deep inside some loops then it fails
silently. It seems that the system command is just ignored.
I have checked the return code $? , which is 0. So the system thinks that
it has executed the command OK.

Anybody else noticed similar strange behaviour of Perl on Slack 64bit?

Cheers,
Peter
