Look at Win32 Process Output you may have to do some serious STDOUT redirecting stuff though. Here is some code.. 

#!perl.exe

use Win32::Process; 

pipe(READ, WRITE); 
close(WRITE);
select(READ); 
$| = 1; 
select(STDOUT); 
open(SAVEIN, "<&STDIN") || die "Can't save STDIN\n";
open(STDOUT, "<&READ") || die "Can't redirect STDOUT\n";
select(STDIN); 
$| = 1; 
select(STDOUT); 
Win32::Process::Create($Process, 
                          "c:\\dev\\MiscTests\\Process\\name.exe", 
                          "name",
                          1, 
                          NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,
                          ".") or die &Error; 

chomp($num = "&READ");
open(STDIN, "<&SAVEIN");
close(SAVEIN); 
close(READ); 
sleep 5;
print "\n\n================================\n";
print "You entered $num\n";
print "About to terminate....\n"; 
print "End.\n";

sub Error
{
    print Win32::FormatMessage( Win32::GetLastError() );
}

open(FILE, "processlog"); chomp( my $var = <FILE> ); close(FILE);
