On Solaris it works as well. Something wrong with Windows implementation?

Something wrong with Windows implementation? More of a platform difference -- a thread used instead of a fork. Use this instead: `use strict; use warnings; my $cmd = "tasklist"; my $pid = open PIPE, "-\|", $cmd or die $!; while (my $line = <PIPE> ) { print $line; last if $line =~ /^smss/; } close PIPE;` [download] With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
