in thread redirect output from a command to another command

Your bash appears to be configured (built) incorrectly. It can be configured to use a different path, or not use that system at all.

    Then it was incorrectly configured by the OS vendor.

    But in any case, even if all bash users were to upgrade to the latest and greatest bleeding edge version, and spend hours tweaking obscure configuration options, that solution still wouldn't be portable, as it doesn't work in some other shells.

      It has nothing to do with the shell. No shell is used by the Perl code I used. It's an OS feature.

      And yes, it wouldn't be portable to other OSes (or differently setup OSes, based on your experience). I didn't mean to imply otherwise.

        You were talking about my shell being broken. It is therefore OBVIOUS that I was talking about the shell code that started this thread and not your perl code, and it therefore has everything to do with the shell.

        If you bothered to pay attention you will also have noticed that I didn't even respond to your post that had perl code in it.
