I see now that on OpenVMS you also use IPC::Open3, that in turn uses
fork(). fork() is not implemented on OpenVMS, so this will not work.
Although I'm not a VMS expert, I do have a testdrive account, and can
test some stuff if that helps.
Does anyone know the idiom for launching a process and capturing its
output on VMS? If we can get that I'll plug it into TAPx::Parser.
It's been over 10 years since I played with it, but I'm pretty sure it
Just Works: vmsperl does the redirection itself. You can
system( "perl test.t 2>&1 >test.out" );
and the startup code within the perl interpreter strips out and performs
the redirection. By the time you start running test.t, @ARGV is empty,
but stdout and stderr are redirected.
Try perldoc vmsperl for more details.
