My test was incomplete.  Could you two lines to the test from
yesterday?

Calls the same "my test.pl" program.


#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

use IPC::Open2;

my @command = (
      'perl', 
      'my test.pl', 
      'first arg1', 
      '"second arg2"',
      'word "quoted" and \"backslashed\" word',
      '"2word "quoted" and \"backslashed\" word"',
);

my $pid = IPC::Open2::open2( \*r, \*w, @command );

print "Pid = $pid\n";
print "output:\n";
print while $_ = <r>;
print "done\n";

(output is)

Pid = 316925
output:
316925 [first arg1]

316925 [second arg2]

316925 [word]

316925 [quoted]

316925 [and]

316925 ["backslashed"]

316925 [word]

316925 [2word quoted and "backslashed" word]

316925 done

done


Oh, ya, that makes sense.

Does that also happen on Win 2000? or WinXP?
