Hi Roderich, hi Peter,

As for the flashing-windows-when-using-backticks thing:
I once wrote an application using Tk, it drove a third party app using
their command
line interface (including reading and interpreting the output of such).
It used IPC::Run3 for that. When I pp'ed it with --gui it didn't have the
flashing windows effect. In any case, IPC::Run3 uses system() internally
(it does some fancy redirecting beforehand and afterwards to handle the
capture/feeding of stdin/stdout/stderr, though), so I'm surprised that
you see different behavious for system() and IPC::Run3. I'll try to
experiment
a little over the weekend.
When - or rather if - one of you figures this out, would you consider
adding an entry to the FAQ list in the PAR wiki at par.perl.org? I am
pretty certain that you're not the first to suffer from this effect.
Thanks!
Steffen
