Re: IPC::Open3 misbehaving when STDOUT is not FD #1

in reply to IPC::Open3 misbehaving when STDOUT is not FD #1

printf "out 1\\nout 2\\nout 3\\n" >&2 will give you the desired output.

Update: While the answer is true, "true" here means "error". Bash is running printf, not perl, so Bash is running into or and die and returning or: command not found and die: command not found; hence, eveything goes to stderr.

So will

#!/usr/bin/perl
print <<'__EOI__';
PIPE: out 1
PIPE: out 2
PIPE: out 3
PIPE: err 1
PIPE: err 2
PIPE: err 3
__EOI__

True, but completely unhelpful.

I posted my comments to the OP in RT.

True Khen1950fx, that may be a good workaround. I will see if it works in my environment (it will depend on whether STDERR is set to a file descriptor other than 2, which fails in a similar way). If it does it will be easier to support than a patched IPC::Open3.
