Re: Launching eb-lite from perl with open2

Hey there,

	I'm afraid that, although writing to the core's stdin could work, it 
will occasionally spew on stdout and stderr, which will really cut you 
up. I seem to remember reading of a way of starting processes with 
arbitrary descriptors in Perl, though...it's been ages, but I do think 
that it's possible... Failing that, of course, you could always launch 
through sh, which definitely supports redirecting arbitrary 
descriptors.
