Thank you for the guidance. There is lots of good stuff in perldocs. Just shows how much of a noob I am to perl that I didn't go straight to perldoc, instead of searching aimlessly online (darn google!).

I had to change the code you provided slightly to get it to run on my version of perl. (Adding parenthisis, moving quote locations, nothing major) I'm running perl v5.6.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread, but don't quote me on that. Anyways, here is the results I get.

STDOUT #1 STDERR #1 STDOUT #2 STDERR #2 STDOUT #3 STDERR #3 STDERR #4 STDOUT #6 STDERR #6 STDOUT #7 STDERR #7 STDOUT #8 STDERR #8 STDOUT #9 STDERR #9

Like you said, the line 'STDERR #6' shouldn't be printing....hmmm...
