Re: Redirect output of Test::More/Simple

Redirecting output on win32 from a script called by just its name is broken, see the release notes.

Two fixes are possible:

perl test1.pl > file.txt
use pl2bat, shipped with activestate perl. This will wrap your perl-script in a .bat-file, from which redirecting will work;
```
pl2bat test1.pl
test1.bat > file.txt
[download]
```
