Greeting, esteemed monk!

Doesn't IPC::Run support filehandle duping? Sounds like you're trying to put one over or somebody.

Update: I think the voting on this node indicates that I did not communicate very well. I don't mean that any poster on this thread, the OP nor anyone else, is or was trying to trick anyone. I simply had a little internal LOL @ the fact that "dupe" means "to deceive or mislead" (or, alternately, someone who is easy to "dupe"). I am sorry that I came across as critical.
