Perl script window closing immediately after running

5 New Member
Why do perl console windows close immediately after the script finishes to run even if there was some output to show? I want my scripts to pause and show the results and oonly close after the user clicks the close button.

I would say, at the end of your Perl script put the following:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. print "Press ENTER to exit:";
  2. <STDIN>;
  3.  
That should pause the window and wait for the enter key to be pressed.

Regards,

Jeff

I am running on windows XP with a fresh install of wamp5 (1.7.2) and mediawiki. I am trying to call a perl function from within php using proc_open.

Since I want to use the perl script as a filter and I don't want to create an intermediary file, this is problematic....

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
