Use the "pipe" mode argument to open: open(my $cmd, '|-', 'command') or die ... A fork is done to execute 'command', and print statements to $cmd will be sent to to the standard input of 'command'. I don't know if this will work for ssh. Note that you cannot easily get the output from ssh this way. See 'perldoc perlipc' and search for the section titled "Using open() for IPC". See also 'perldoc -f open'. See also the Net::SSH::Perl module (as Jeff Pang has suggested). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
