in thread redirection problem

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).

      Try removing the assoc and ftype prior to doing the installation.

        It didn't help either. I've installed Strawberry once again and no progress. Then uninstalled and installed AS 5.12.4 32-bit, but no success either. But... started digging and after finding similar posts for Groovy and Python I followed one of the links. This is actually very old fix for Win2000, but adding mentioned InheritConsoleHandles registry key solved my problem.
