in reply to Re^3: redirect output from a command to another command
in thread redirect output from a command to another command

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.

      One of the solution (named pipes) proposed is portable, the other was the Perl code. So to which solution were you referring if you weren't responding to the post that had the Perl code?

      Yes, until you said the solution wasn't portable. It (the solution) has nothing to do with the shell.

        I suggest that you click the "in reply to" link on this post, and then on the page that takes you to, and so on. Then you will be enlightened.
