Re: [perl #19898] [PATCH] forking to Perl children with IPC::Open3

:I wanted IPC::Open3 to allow forking to Perl children rather than to

:is very clean and simple, and follows below.  It merely allows you to
:specify '-' as the external command, and in exactly the same way that
:Perl lets you fork to a Perl child via
:
:  my $pid = open(FH, '-|');

:you can now do
:
:  my $pid = open3(\*WTRFH, \*RDRFH, \*ERRFH, '-');

:and the net effect will be analogous to
:
:  my $pid = fork;

Thanks, applied as change #19002.

It would be helpful if you could also supply a patch to the tests
that exercises this new functionality.
