Re: Concurrency with IPC::Run3 ?

is it even possible to have a bidirectional communication between two simultaneously running processes with run3?

No, IPC::Run3 doesn't support interactive communications with the subprocesses. IIRC, it does most of its I/O redirections via files, since that's the most portable.

If not what's the appropriate solution?

I've had success with IPC::Run. According to CPAN Testers it's not as portable, but so far I haven't had problems with it.

Thanks a lot, that helped. For the time being I will "bake smaller buns" and to set my sights lower and start with a prove of concept with one integrated application for this, most likely with Tk. If that works I'll split it up into a parent-child structure and try to find the most portable interface. The parent is basically for testing the child-server, before trying to plug it into an IDE.
