    'Ello,

    I'm writing a perl script to spawn child processes to execute jobs.
    The jobs are system calls. I use open(SYSCALL, "cmd |), to make the
    system calls because I need the pipe so I can log STDOUT to a file.
    On Windows my script locks up after the first job is done. It works
    fine on unix.

    I am using fork to spawnt the child processes.

    Any help is appreciated, or alternative suggestions is greatly
    appreciated.

    Thanks much.
