I already experimented with POSIX, but it doesn't work :-( (I always get zero as
error code; I'm using RedHat 6.2 - Linux 2.2.14-5, Perl 5.005_03 - and Minivend
4.04.)
However, I often use Perl but I am not a guru; I'd like to know how you would
patch Util.pm (and Server.pm, BTW) to POSIXize those errore codes. Thanks in
advance.
For now, I've created a new user (minivend.minivend), "delocalized" it
(LANG=en_US, LC_ALL=en_US), and made it the Minivend owner. It works, of course
:-) Thanks Joachim!
...and thanks to all the list members for sharing their experience.
