In Perl, I kick off a command line exe that sends data to
STDOUT. I want to catch all those bits:

  Win32::Process::Create (
     $ProcessObj2,
     $counters_fname,
     "$COUNTERS_NAME -interval $interval",
     1,
     NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,
     "."
  ) || HandleProcess_Failure($COUNTERS_NAME);

  $ProcessObj2->Suspend();
  $ProcessObj2->Resume();

After that, I need to do an open(), open2() or open3(),
followed by the while loop to read data...I cannot get it to work.
I dont need to write to the exe, just capture stdout.
I will even let STDERR go to cmd shell.

Any help? I am hoping for the exact open command to
use...I have found lots of "stuff" but it's not workable code.
