Thank you for that great answer. In theory I understand completely what your code is doing.

But my problem is that I don't get it running. I get the following messages:

Starting Build Preprocess Stage
Finished Build Preprocess Stage

Starting Build Parse Stage
Finished Build Parse Stage

Starting Build Glue 1 Stage
Finished Build Glue 1 Stage

Starting Build Glue 2 Stage
Finished Build Glue 2 Stage

Starting Build Glue 3 Stage
Finished Build Glue 3 Stage

Starting Build Compile Stage
  Starting "perl Makefile.PL" Stage
Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)
Writing Makefile for JobObject
  Finished "perl Makefile.PL" Stage

  Starting "make" Stage
warning: extra args ignored after '-e'

And then the script continues running endlessly without starting any processes.

When I tried it with the debugger I could not even reach the first perl statement and got the same messages.

When your code is running here on my computer, I'd like to put your code into a module and then post it here.

I ask myself if I'm doing weird things because nobody seems to need this functionality. I would assume that many people would need this useful functionality.

Thank you alot.
