in reply to What's the other output from a DOS command window and how do you capture it in PERL?

If it isn't going to STDOUT nor STDERR, then it is likely going straight to "the console". I've seen descriptions of software that manages to intercept direct updates to the console. I wouldn't want to deal with any of that.

But if you really want to work that hard, then perhaps this gives you some search terms to help you figure out how that is done. :)
