The poster of the question is most definitely a Windows user,

Really? Then how come he says: but it is an older version of Perl running on Red Hat.? Did he say it just to confuse us?

Your clarification still talks about handles inherited from a session or terminal, but handles are inherited from a process.

Wow. You are really on form today aren't you. (Hence the anonymous post no doubt.)

How does a user interact with a session or terminal? Could it be though a shell? And isn't a shell a process?

And when you run another process -- say perl -- from that shell process, doesn't that secondary process inherit its standard handles from it?

And is it totally inconceivable that setting a session or terminal as Unicode enabled, has influence on that shell process?

Pipes don't even have anything to do with terminals.

Really? Isn't it the case that command line pipes between processes are established by the shell process?

And tell me, how do you interact with a "terminal" except through a shell process?
