I suppose I should include a link[1][2] to the SO thread I referenced since this advice is coming from there. Especially because it offers an alternative option (using Win32::API to make a system call with the PID). At a glance I'm not sure how to access the standard streams with Win32::Process so perhaps using the GetExitCodeProcess system call as mentioned in the SO thread would be a convenient alternative to do everything you want. I cannot say. :) [1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6786812/is-it-possible-to-process-exit-codes-255-with-perl [2] The thread is titled "Is it possible to process exit codes > 255 with perl", just in case I typed the URL wrong. :) Regards, -- Brandon McCaig <bamcc...@gmail.com> <bamcc...@castopulence.org> Castopulence Software <https://www.castopulence.org/> Blog <http://www.bamccaig.com/> perl -E '$_=q{V zrna gur orfg jvgu jung V fnl. }. q{Vg qbrfa'\''g nyjnlf fbhaq gung jnl.}; tr/A-Ma-mN-Zn-z/N-Zn-zA-Ma-m/;say'
