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.
