I'm getting some heat to get it working again, after my upgrade to 1.51 that broke it. I've learned quite a bit, but I'm at a dead end now. I uncommented the debug 'print "Launching..."' statement, and it had the correct output. The $pid variable was given a reasonable value by open2(). However, the $junk variable is empty (length zero) after the 'my $junk = <$rdr>;' statement. So the regular expression is NOT an issue. I have ruled out a pathing problem, and this problem persists after setting all rights to the 'other' or 'world' permission bits, too. ppop seems to launch, but the initial "*READY" string does NOT wind up in $junk. Frankly, I don't know why.
