I have a perl ap that I run on an Amiga under Amiga OS. On the amiga i can open a new command line window with something called the con device and then I can send things like error messages to that window while still running perl from the original command line window
is there a similar way to open a new command line window under Unix and Windows
This is the line of code that will open the window on the Amiga (the stuff tot he right of con: is commands to the Amiga command line device which is called con:
open(WIN1,">con:30/40/400/100/MyWINDOW/AUTO/CLOSE")
and this will print something to it:
print WIN1 "hello WIN1\n";
