On windows, STDOUT comes up missing in this example. Can anyone explain what is happening?
Here's the example: (I more'd this from unix - the scripts run as-is under windows or unix) 
-> more bug*
::::::::::::::
bugSTDOUT.pl
::::::::::::::
#!/usr/bin/perl
print STDOUT "Running bugSTDOUTb.pl with backticks\n";
print STDOUT "stdout from bugSTDOUTb.pl=" . `bugSTDOUTb.pl` . "\n";
::::::::::::::
bugSTDOUTb.pl
::::::::::::::
#!/usr/bin/perl
print STDOUT "Running bugSTDOUTc.pl with system()\n";
system('bugSTDOUTc.pl');
print STDOUT "$0 done\n";
::::::::::::::
bugSTDOUTc.pl
::::::::::::::
#!/usr/bin/perl
print STDOUT "Hello world!\n";

On unix, the output is as expected: 
->  bugSTDOUT.pl
Running bugSTDOUTb.pl with backticks
stdout from bugSTDOUTb.pl=Running bugSTDOUTc.pl with system()
Hello world!
/u/geaaron/bin/bugSTDOUTb.pl done

But on windows, the STDOUT from the 3rd script is missing: 
D:\My\Tools>bugSTDOUT.pl
Running bugSTDOUTb.pl with backticks
stdout from bugSTDOUTb.pl=Running bugSTDOUTc.pl with system()
D:\My\Tools\bugSTDOUTb.pl done

Where did the STDOUT go? Is there a solution to this problem? I really need windows to do the same thing unix does...

NOTE: This does not happen for STDERR. If you s/STDOUT/STDERR/g things work as expected on both platforms.

Thanks, Aaron
