Jos, I was really happy to see a time-out implemented in your module as I really needed it. Whenever I hit the timeout, the script continues but I have no way to cleanup the 'launched command'. Would it be possible to get back the process id of the last executed command ala $! offered by the ksh ? I know depending on how you launch the command(s) you might or not provide it... Any idea if this can be done ? Thanks a lot for this really nice (and strong) module. Pierre

IPC::Cmd uses under the hood either: IPC::Run, IPC::Open3 or system(), depending on your platform and modules available. Only IPC::Open3 reports back what the pid is, the other 2 do not, and I can't find a way to get a hold of it either. If you know how to do that, then I can add this feature. Cheers,
