/dev/null what is this in Win32?

or how do we translate this line of code in Win32?

open(CONVERT, "| ffmpeg -i - -y -acodec copy "$outdir/$name.mp3" 2>/dev/null")
or die "Can't fork ffmpeg: $!";

Also I noticed some minor modifications like in line 8 from chdir $outdir or die "Chdir "$outdir": $!"; to chdir $outdir or die "Chdir ".$outdir.": $!"; Basically the String concatination wont work without the dot (.) on both sides of $outdir.
