I've now located and tried the subprocess_env() in conjunction w/ spawn_proc_prog(). I just do a foreach on the ENV hash and stuff the values into subprocess_env(). That works (I have a test perl subprogram that just dumps the ENV), but now I am not able to get the output of the program. I pasted in the read_data() func from the example and I have a single scalar accepting the return value from spawn_proc_prog() per the example and that is supposed to give me the output filehandle.
