Hi Edan,

Thanks very much for your example code, I shall integrate it into my script and do some testing with it.

Thanks again,

    Hi Edan,

    Thanks for the example code, I have done the integration and tested it and even deployed it and it all works fine on Linux.

    I am now trying to use it on Windows and I get the following error:
    '-' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable pro
+gram or batch file.

    I have been debugging the script and found it to come from the following line: 
    defined(my $child_pid=open(CHILD_OUTPUT, "-|")) or die "fork: $!";

    Is there a way to make this work on Windows, or will this have to be a Unix only facility?

    Thanks,

    Richard Thomas.
