in thread How to know if a perl script is put in the background
Looking at the implementation of IO::Interactive, it's essentially -t plus some code to handle *ARGV magicness. In other words, it shares the same problem of possibly producing incorrect results when being (mis)used to test if something is running in the background (e.g. when a script is sent into the background using &, executed from an (interactive) command line):
$ ./724312.pl Running interactively $ stty -tostop # just in case $ ./724312.pl & [1] 13831 $ Running interactively [1]+ Done ./724312.pl
