in thread How to pass the value of a variable from a child to parent with gui interface?

@7stud, thanks for pointing this out: "Processes do not share variables". I think this is the crux of my problem. I'll take a look at perlipc. Thanks :)

BTW, I'm running ActivePerl on Windows box, your illustration code has this "open my $INPUT_FROM_CHILD, '-|';", which does not work for me. But thanks the same :)
