}<br></pre></pre><br>It works normally, but there is a situation where it can't work, but when i restart urxvt terminal, it works again. When it can't work, I experience that if I select a text or using ctrl-insert it can't copy it into the clipboard, I can't paste into the web browser e.g, or into other application. I looked for information at the side of perldoc perlipc and opening pipe, but i'm newbie in it really, please help :)<br>
