Not that I'm aware of, at least not on Windows 1.

The usual way of controlling STDIN and STDOUT of a process is to launch it and supplying your own filehandles for the childs STDIN and STDOUT.

The "problem" (I assume) with IPC::Open2 is that it tries to clone the current STDIN and STDOUT for the child, which fails in absence of a console with STDIN and STDOUT under wperl.exe. I would try to change that.

1 I'm aware that you likely can use the ZW APIs, Process Explorer, the Debugger API or some other hackery, but in terms of the Win32 API, I'm not aware of a way to get access to filehandles in other processes without the cooperation of that process.
