I haven't been able to get fork() and exec() to work reliably under ActivePerl for Win32. As a result, POE::Wheel::Run (which currently uses fork and exec) is not supported on that platform. If someone with more Win32-fu can get this working, I'll be happy to make it officially supported in 0.27. -- Rocco Caputo - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://poe.perl.org/
