Hi there,
I'm having a small problem using Win32::Process::Create. I'm trying to
run a program compiled from C++ code, but to cope with infinite loops
etc, I need a decent amount of control over the running process...which
is why I'm using Process::Create.
However, I need to capture the output to a file (and in general stop it
from going to STDOUT). I just can't seem to get it right!
Here's the general jist of what I'm doing:
** Sample code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Win32::Process;
$ROOT="D:/tmp/john/project/perl/test";
# Compile source file
`bcc32 "asgn2.cpp"`;
# Run compiled program
Win32::Process::Create($asgnproc,
"$ROOT/asgn2.exe",
"asgn2",
0,
NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,
".");
# Wait 5 seconds
$asgnproc->Wait(5000);
# Kill it if still running
$asgnproc->Kill(1);
** End sample code
No matter what I've tried I can't stop the output from going to STDOUT,
and can't direct it into a filehandle.
I'd appreciate some pointers as to what I'm doing wrong, or even a way
to accomplish what I want without Process::Create (I don't think
system/exec/backticks can give me the control I need...but maybe they
can!)
Regards,
John.
