Re^11: Please suggest a non-forking way to do this (OS: windows)

Win32API::File has a function that returns the system file handle associated with a Perl file handle, and Win32::API can give access to PeekNamedPipe with minimal fuss.

Sounds like it's another working solution in this case, even if it can't be integrated with select.

and Win32::API can give access to PeekNamedPipe with minimal fuss. In theory yes, but have you actually tried it? I did a while ago and coudn't make it work from Perl/via Win32::API, though it worked fine in a C program.
