Re^3: Effect of redirecting output to /dev/null on $? value

I have used this before, but our questioner seemed to be asking for a minimal solution. This strategy is the only way if you need more than the basic pipes, but (having just checked) IPC::Open3 is actually implemented using system, presumably for compatibility on Windows, where fork must be emulated.

`open3` only uses `system` in Windows and OS/2; `fork` is used elsewhere.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
