Well, after spending a bit more time on this, I concluded that using pipes on win32 is definitely impossible. So I decided to model the functionality that I need using threads instead. I have re-written the FAQ example to use threads instead of pipes. The inspiration of course was from muppet's code at http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-perl-list/2003-November/msg00028.html I am attaching the code. If no one sees issues with it, I can add this as a recipe. Regards, _Ofey.
