inter process communication help

Hello,

The following piece of perl code works on linux but does not work on cygwin (windows) =>
-----------------------
my $results = `echo "$randString" | $resGen `
-----------------------

where $ranstring contains a few strings (one on each line) and $resgen is an executable which needs to process the contents of $randstring and return the results to $results.

One of the things that prevents this code to work on cygwin (windows) is that it has issues with the newline characters in $randstring.

What would be the best solution to make this code work on windows as well as linux?
