Re^2: waitpid on Win32 ... wait forever

The presented code works fine for me

Yep, me too :-)
Seems that the contents of $cmd (which I changed just prior to posting) can have an effect. Try instead with:

my $cmd = 'dir';

The `dir` command works fine for me until I chdir to a larger directory, at which point `dir` never completes because it blocks writing to the full pipe attached to STDOUT. Just like I predicted.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
