I guess using mhonarc.pl directly works only under NT. I never
bothered to check under Win9x.
I added the -stdout and -stderr options to deal with inferior shell
environments. Plus, -stderr can be used for rudimentary error logging.

Invoking perl directly is known to work, but is inconvienent, and can
be awkward. I haven't checked to see if using something like a Cygwin
bash shell will handle I/O redirection when invoking dos batch files.
