Try the > three-argument open: > > open my $fh, '-|', @cmd or die "blah: $!\n"; fails, "Unknown open() > mode '5'"; That won't get sent through the shell either: [SHELL] shlomif[homepage@default]:$trunk$ perl -E 'open my $fh, "-|", "make", "2>&1" or die "Foo $!"' make: *** No rule to make target '2>&1'. Stop. shlomif[homepage@default]:$trunk$ [/SHELL] One needs to use a single command with a trailing "|" and making a wise use of something like https://metacpan.org/release/String-ShellQuote (which I'm not sure if it supports MS Windows properly, but should work on UNIXes): shlomif[homepage@default]:$trunk$ perl -E 'open my $fh, "make 2>&1|" or die "Foo $!"; while(<$fh>) {print} close($fh);' You may also wish to look at https://metacpan.org/pod/IPC::Run .
