Hmm... well I don't know about mimicing script's methods, but if you just want to send whatever the program prints you can just do simple redirection (ie. perl script.pl > holdme). But, if it's an interactive program you'll have no idea what it's asking you. Perhaps if you could provide more details on the nature of the program who's output you want to capture and its purpose, perhaps some of the good monks could suggest alternate solutions. Or you could google around for a win port of script (with a name like that it may be tricky though)
