in thread capturing STDERR within a script

What version of perl are you using? I just tried the above example with perl 5.8.0 on cygwin and it displayed the behavior that you stated -- @errors was empty. This is the first time I've noticed this. A different Filter::Handle snippet caused 5.8.0 to coredump. I wonder if it's a bug in perl or a bug in Filter::Handle that broke with perl 5.8.0. Anyone else have any luck running Filter::Handle with perl >= 5.8.0?
