Piping output from a child process into a Text widet in a non-blocking way on Windows

Just curious. I've spent a few days trying to attack this with very
little luck.

Has anyone solved the problem of being able to pipe the output of a
child
process to a text widget on a Windows platform in a non blocking way?

All the ways I've investigated all seem to work great on UNIX, but die
on
Windows in one way or another. Tk::ExecuteCommand is great, but it
only
seems to work on UNIX, Using Tk::IO worked great on UNIX, but Windows
has
trouble with opening -|, it dies saying that - is not a command.

There seems to be alot of trouble on windows using fileevent which
seems to
be the way to do this, but everything I've found is using it and that's
what
seems to be broken on Windows.

Any help would be appreciated
