[perl] sysopen(CD, "/dev/cd0", O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK) fails

[Tobias Rehbein]

Hi all.

I have a perl script which seems to work fine under Linux but fails on FreeBSD.
The Problem is the line:

        sysopen(CD, "/dev/cd0", O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK)

After this line the following evaluates to true:

        $! eq "No such file or directory."

/dev/cd0 is readable and writable for me. I rebooted multiple times and tried
with and without atapicam. 

        sysopen(CD, "/dev/acd0", O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK)

fails either. So what's up here? Is sysopen a linuxism?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards Tobias
