FWIW, as we speak I am in the final phase of testing what will become Perl/iX
5.005 Real Soon Now.  5.005 should also have the MPE patches incorporated
into the official www.perl.com sources.

I've never played with open3().

Hmmm.  But as you can see, it works for me on MPE/iX 5.5pp4 using gcc (I don't
have access to HP C/iX):

mbloaner:/PERL/PUB$ gcc -o tst tst.c
WARNING: /tmp/cca981301.o HAS FILECODE 0

mbloaner:/PERL/PUB$ ./tst < tstin > tstout
mbloaner:/PERL/PUB$ cat tstout
Enter a line:
Line was <hello>
Enter a line:
Line was <there>
Enter a line:
Line was <exit>
mbloaner:/PERL/PUB$
