in thread capturing STDOUT after Win32::Process::Create()

You can use IPC::Open2's open2 or IPC::Open3's open3 to get two virtually independently running processes, until they feel the need to communicate to one another. Check out Win32::GUI Chatterbox client for working sample code.

Re^4: capturing STDOUT after Win32::Process::Create()

    I used plain old open(), as and came to realize that I
    shouldn't even need the wait...the process I kick off
    executes a step, waits one min. then does it
    again...the time between the 2nd execution step and the
    end of the process is negotiable, I can let it
    finish then run the command I thought I needed a
    "Wait()" for. I've just never played with open
    commands till now...they are a bit confusing at first
    glance.

    btw the chatterbox client is pretty cool, I got it to fire
    up, but I haven't connected yet to perlmonks...
