open(FOO, "foo.exe| 2>&1");
# adding '2>&1' will get you what foo.exe writes to STDERR too,

# An alternative if you're not expecting lots of lines is the simpler :
@foo_return = `foo.exe` ;
# Note : The above uses backticks, not single quotes.
# Each element of @foo_return now contains one line of foo.exe's
# output (including the newline/carriage return char.).

It does work on WIN32.
