      Description

      When you use the subprocess API, you can use Subprocess::FD() to define how the standard IO streams are attached to the child process. The default type argument is IO::DUPLICATED. In that case, the descriptors are duplicated with dup(2) in the parent process. The new file descriptors will have their close-on-exec flag cleared and could then be inherited to undefined child processes.
