Re: Run an external program and capture its output

This is one that comes up from time to time - it's not specific to 
Strawberry Perl, and has to do with file associations and something else 
.... a registry setting ? ... I can never remember the details, nor of how 
to search for it.

If it's the one I'm thinking of then this works:
perl my_script.pl > output.txt

It's just when you make use of file associations to run a script that you 
lose the redirection - and it's a simple fix once you find out what it is.

Surely someone here knows what I'm alluding to ... and how to remedy it ?
