Re: First Time CPAN Testing on Windows

You might want to take a look at this project:

https://github.com/lucastheisen/ipc-open3-callback

I borrowed code from it (didn't need the callback feature, only the hack 
for Windows) to implement a long running process that used IPC on MS 
Windows and it's behavior was somehow better than the standard ways of 
reading output from external programs.

On the other hand, after some time running, this process just stopped 
working, so I have to restart it from time to time. :-(

All that was tested on Windows 7, so it might be better with Windows 10.
