Hi all,
I know there are many posts around this topic, but none seems to help me with my problem, which is:
When I fill the child program's output to the parents stdout, (for example by this command: 
my $pid = open3(\*STDIN, ">&STDOUT", \*STDERR, "streamtestinner.pl");

[download]
i only get the whole output, when the childprocess has completely finished. Thats not what i want. I want the console to reflect each print statement of the childprocess as soon as it is executed. (Seems like the stream isn't flushed or something like that) On Unix this works as it should, but the same code on windows behaves differently. Can anybody tell me if there is a way to get the desired result on windows too?
kind regards
Michael
