It's not really the output of an external command etc. I need. It's the STDERR of a C library which an XS module uses. So when I make certain sub calls, it gets into the C routines and it's their STDERR I want to capture. It all works fine on non-Windows using STDERR redirection to a file or Capture::Tiny but on Windows, the STDERR of the library refuses to be captured. This seems to be a windows specific thing - I read somewhere that re-opening STDERR on windows de-couples perl STDERR from the C library STDERR. If so, I'm really in the dark as to how to capture this.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
