Anyone have a Windows box and is willing to test this out for me?

>From perldoc perlfaq8:
Note that you cannot simply open STDERR to be a dup of STDOUT in your
Perl program and avoid
calling the shell to do the redirection. This doesn’t work:
open(STDERR, ">&STDOUT");
$alloutput = ‘cmd args‘; # stderr still escapes
