I recall this problem being discussed a while ago.
While I don't know the details, the problem is somewhere in the OS.
Whatever it is, it looked like we had to live with it.
It's very annoying, but as long as you put 'perl' in front of the script,
redirection works fine... I often use "perl -S myscript.pl".
If you are in a dos window, simple call 'myscript' works fine, producing
the output on the screen.
If I call it from another script, I don't mind too much having "perl -S" in
front of it.
However, when I call a script from emacs, I have to do "perl -S".
Otherwise, I never see the output. :(
