    Ignore the previous post, sorry I'm new here. Richz, I have been looking for a way to capture stdout/stderr output from a process called with Win32 Process Create..looks like you have that handled. Can you post the snippet for that, please? I'm pretty desperate... Thanks, Mark

      Are you sure you need to start the other process by Win32::Process? Would not IPC::Open3 work better?

      bmc_mark, Not that it really matters but is the process you are creating a perl script?

        No, it's a command line executable that is run from a cmd shell...

    Yeah, I am getting some weirdness in my Win32 app. I guess the I/O redirection isn't working flawlessly; that's somewhat strange since my other 2 perl scripts run great from my Win32 app w/o disabling buffering...

      Rich, it's a .exe that is run from the command line, all text output. Output goes to cmd shell...

        No No, it's my Perl script that calls an exe! I thought you were asking what I was executing with Win32::Process::Create().
