Subject: integrate change#17566 from maint-5.6 branch
X-Git-Url: http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1095be3767b805178c80d95f5b7a502999848f8b;p=p5sagit%2Fp5-mst-13.2.git

integrate change#17566 from maint-5.6 branch

on windows, ensure child processes that get run via backticks get
the right pipe handle at stdin/stdout; this is needed to make
subprocesses see the correct standard handles such that backticks
and piped open()s work when run from within GUI applications

this also makes it possible to launch wperl.exe in backticks
from within an application that has no std handles without a
new blank console window popping up
