Re^3: waitpid on Win32 ... wait forever

You're right. You'd have to doing something like:

my $t1 = async{ 1 while <$out> };
my $t2 = async{ 1 while <$err> };
$_->join for $t1, $t2;
...

However, if your redirecting stdout to stderr, is there any point in reading stdout? And if you're going to discard the output without looking at it, why not just dump the whole lot to nul and have done with it?

It was the mininal change required to send a known-sufficient amount of data to STDERR. Since open3 is used, input from both STDOUT and STDERR is probably expected in the actual situation where this is used.
