I just needed the stdout/stderr of a ruby interpreter, so instead of this:

  def execute_popen(code)
    require 'open3'
    stdin, stdout, stderr = Open3::popen3(*interpreter_command)
    stdin.puts code
    @evals.each{|x| stdin.puts x } unless @evals.empty?
    stdin.close
    [stdout, stderr]
  end

win32 uses this code (thanks to eao197 for reporting & fixing the problem with
open files not being removable on win32):

  def execute_tmpfile(code)
    stdin, stdout, stderr = (1..3).map do |i|
      fname = "xmpfilter.tmpfile_#{Process.pid}-#{i}.rb"
      f = File.open(fname, "w+")
      at_exit { f.close unless f.closed?; File.unlink fname }
      f
    end
    stdin.puts code
    stdin.close
    exe_line = <<-EOF.map{|l| l.strip}.join(";")
      $stdout.reopen('#{stdout.path}', 'w')
      $stderr.reopen('#{stderr.path}', 'w')
      $0.replace '#{stdin.path}'
      ARGV.replace(#{@options.inspect})
      load #{stdin.path.inspect}
      #{@evals.join(";")}
    EOF
    system(*(interpreter_command << "-e" << exe_line))
    [stdout, stderr]
  end
