Hello:

Are "Safe Pipe Opens" as described here:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/ActivePerl/5.8/lib/Pod/perlipc.htm
l#safe_pipe_opens

supported in ActivePerl?

Whenever I try this statement:
$pid = open(KID_TO_READ, "-|");

I get an error message saying:

'-' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

as if I typed '-' at the command line.

I am using this version of ActivePerl:

>perl -version

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 33 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
