>system "my_command 2>&1 NUL"
First time I see this syntax.
As far as I can say, it doesn't work.
The correct form should be :
my_command > NUL 2>&1

It's very similar. But I'm not sure exactly what the
above segment does -- redirect stderr to stdout I
understand just fine, but there's no redirect to null.
So on Win32, it'd be something like
system "my_command 2>&1 NUL"
to do what you mentioned.
