Hello dchidelf, and welcome to the monastery.

The following resolves the issue for me. Basically, I'm able to iterate through the loop 20 times. It looks like the *tied* $out and $err handles are not being garbage collected by Perl. Thus, likely memory leaking.

Add a CLOSE method to the IOQueue package.

sub CLOSE {
    undef $_[0];
}

Inside the test script, close $out and $err handles before calling $p->close().

    print "LOOP DONE\n";
    close $out;
    close $err;
    $p->close();

The above passes on a Windows 7 VM with Strawberry Perl 5.14.x, 5.16.x, 5.18.x, 5.20.x, and 5.22.x. You may already know this, but $^X is a special variable in Perl. It provides the path for the Perl interpreter.

# my $p = ProcOpen::procopen(\$in, \$out, \$err, "c:\\perl\\bin\\perl.
+exe", "testpipe.pl");

  my $p = ProcOpen::procopen(\$in, \$out, \$err, $^X, "testpipe.pl");

Your *cool* module is interesting.
