in thread redirection problem

the output is exactly the same as yours.

Really? You are using a 64-bit perl? Are you sure the quoting of the arguments is exactly the same?

How about: 

C:\test>set pathext
PATHEXT=.pl;.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;

    It was little different, but changing this var didn't help:

    c:\>set pathext
PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC;.py;.pyw

c:\>set pathext=.pl;%pathext%

c:\>set pathext
PATHEXT=.pl;.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC;.py;
+.pyw

c:\>script.pl > noperl.txt

c:\>type noperl.txt

      Are you sure that the output from ftype is: Perl="c:\perl64\bin\perl.exe" "%1" %*

      And not (say): Perl="c:\perl64\bin\perl.exe %1 %*" ?

      Because the only way I can (partially) reproduce your description is to change my ftype to the latter.

        Yes, it is the first one. I installed strawberry perl 5.12, changed registry to point at it and this one worked: 
        C:\temp>ftype Perl
Perl="C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe" "%1" %*

C:\temp>script.pl
aabc
C:\temp>script.pl > strawberry.txt

C:\temp>type strawberry.txt
aabc

        I'll try to install AS 5.12 to see how it works (on Monday).
