Re^4: How to deal with a forked proces that is waiting for user input?

Thanks for the feedback.

In the is_joinable check I had attempted to try both join and detach, but in both cases it causes the script to crash perl. If I run it as is I see:

Perl exited with active threads:
        0 running and unjoined
        1 finished and unjoined
        0 running and detached

At the end of the run, which is what you had mentioned. I would love to join it but I just don't know why it keeps crashing my perl(Activestate 5.8.8 32 bit on Windows)

I want to be able to access the information in @results, after the _timedCommand has returned. When running the diskpart system call, a few lines of information are printed prior to the point where it asks for user input, it is these lines I would like to get back. I will try the queue and see if that does what I need it to do.

Thanks.

I updated my code to reflect more where I am currently at.
