Hi folks,

Can anyone help me with detecting closure of a Perl pipe to exim -bS?
My test case at the moment is the ommission of the trailing period.
When I stop printing, none of $?, $! or fileno() help me detect that, in
actual fact, the exim process is gone and exited with an error.

Help! :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
