[Speedycgi-users] FIXED!!!

[Jonathan B. <jo...@es...>]

I found the problem - it was Parse::RecDescent (which is included by
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel).  Parse::RecDescent is dup-ing STDERR on _MODULE
LOAD_, which is screwing something up in speedy.  Adding the following
code to the beginning of my program fixed the problem.

BEGIN {
	close(STDERR);
}

This prevented Parse::RecDescent from dup-ing a valid file descriptor, but
also screws up error reporting.  Is this a feature or a bug with speedy?

Alternatively, to keep STDERR, I might dup it, close it, load
Parse::RecDescent, dup it back, and then reclose the dup-d one.

Any ideas from users?
