You can access $harness->_running_kids
which returns a list of hashes where you can access PID property. It's not documented, and not recommended to access a private method, but there is no other way :-1:
We use something like this:
my $harness = IPC::Run::harness(...);
$harness->start;
my ($child) = $harness->_running_kids;
my $child_pid = $child->{PID};
I have a Perl script using your IPC::Run and start, pump, finish mode to call an external binary, compiled, unchangeable program. I need to get the programs PID. In the Perl script launching the external binary, I only get own PID from $$. In Bash it would be $!, Perl just gives me "Illegal seek". How do I get the childs PID?
