List form of pipe open not implemented

Yes, my update, which I made shortly after posting that node, mentions it: the list from of piped open wasn't implemented on Windows until Perl v5.22. I don't see where naveenp5 mentions that particular error, though? Update: Oh, I see it now (the URL of 902198). I understood that comment to refer to the string pipe, not the error message, but it is a hint that the OP may be on a Perl older than v5.22 - another reason to use a module instead :-)

    My perl version is "v5.10.0 built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread". How do I get that firefox --version working in this older version ?

      Please note that Perl 5.10.0 is more than 10 years old, I recommend considering an upgrade.

      As I said, I strongly recommend using one of the modules I mentioned. Yes, even you can use CPAN, and at least Strawberry Perl 5.10.0 includes IPC::Run3.
