RHBA-2012:1336 - perl-IPC-Run bug fix update

Synopsis

perl-IPC-Run bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated perl-IPC-Run packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The perl-IPC-Run packages provide a mechanism for Perl scripts to interact with child processes.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, the IO::Pty Perl module was not loaded when using the command "IPC::Run::harness" with the ">pty>" argument if the perl-IO-Tty package was not installed. As a consequence, the Perl code failed. This update adds a perl-IO-Tty dependency to the perl-IPC-Run packages. (BZ#856840)

All users of perl-IPC-Run are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
