in reply to Re^4: STDERR going to string
in thread STDERR going to string

Can perl and C have "different" STDERRs on windows?

No. There is only one STDERR on windows and it is always fileno 2. Perl wraps things so that stderr is a variable, but fileno 2 is always the original stderr.

AFAIK, despite claims to the contrary, there is no way to get it to work on win32.

If it was possible it would work already :)
