in thread I got IPC::Open3 to work!

Re #3 - I'm not sure I follow. If it shouldn't happen, it shouldn't matter how it's handled.

Besides, I'd rather be woken up in the middle of the night by something that shouldn't happen but did, rather than mask the error by ignoring it. My house shouldn't catch fire, for example... ;-)

    The dieing would be a better alternative then returning undef, which simply displaces the error to some other indeterminate location.
