✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, meet IPC::Run::Win32IO — helper routines for IPC::Run on Win32 platforms 💅 this page is the User Contributed Perl Documentation version of IPC::Run::Win32IO(3).

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use IPC::Run::Win32IO;   # Exports all by default

And yes, it exports all by default — no extra setup, periodt ✨.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the whole reason this exists: IPC::Run needs to use sockets to redirect subprocess I/O so that the select() loop will work on Win32. It seems this only works on WinNT and Win2K at this time, and ngl I’m not sure if it will ever work on Win95 or Win98. If you have experience in this area, please contact me at barries@slaysys.com, thanks!. 🫶

🎀 DESCRIPTION (yes, again, bestie) 🎀

A specialized IO class used on Win32. That’s it, that’s the whole section — short and iconic 💖

👑 SUBROUTINES 👑

🌟 poll 🌟

Windows version of IPC::Run::IP::poll. It’s literally giving “same poll, Windows edition” energy ✨
