I'm using a Windows x64 machine and am trying to capture the STDOUT and STDERR streams from a command. I also have to write to the command's STDIN. I'm trying to use perl's IPC::Open3 for this, with no luck. I'm using the script posted here and the command as this script here. I of course replaced the $cmd variable with "perl test.pl" for Windows.
It's supposed to print 'StdOut!' and 'StdErr!', along with the pid, but I only get the PID. I don't know if it is because of my operating system, or because the thread is 10 years old (no biggie, Perl 5 is almost 18, right?). Another monk posted this script to fix any problems in the other one, but on my computer it never exits.
Can anyone give me a working example of using open3 to start a command in perl, write to its STDIN, and capture both its STDERR and its STDOUT?
