I did some poking inside PPOP.pm. The regular expression is OK! The $junk scalar is empty (length zero) right after the 'my $junk...' line. I uncommented the debug line that prints "Launching:"... and so I know things are happy going into open2(). Is this a permissions problem?? This is what I have for the 'ppop' executable in /usr/lib/ppr/bin: - -rws--s--x ppr ppr paths.ph has the correct path to ppop, and the uncommented debug line makes it clear that this does get picked up OK. So it isn't a pathing problem. Will open2() spit out an error if denied permission? It looks like ppop is not being launched, yet open2() does not complain. This is why the regular expression is provided? Does the ppop executable get launched as ppr, pprwww, or root? Sorry about this. I'm at a bit of a loss right now, and need to get this going again.
