Message-ID: <1991Jan26.091803.19696@ircam.fr> Date: 26 Jan 91 09:18:03 GMT Sender: fingerhu@ircam.fr (Michel Fingerhut) Organization: IRCAM, Paris (France) Lines: 11 Setup: Perl 3.0.1.10 patch level 44 Ultrix 4.0/4.1 on DEC/Mips Problem: ioctl(STDIN, $TIOCGETP, $ttyb) || die "can't ioctl: $!"; fails with "can't ioctl: Not a typewriter" even for 1-line programs (2-line, actually, with the require "sys/ioctl.ph"). Any ideas?
