Hi there,
I hope this is a trivial newbie problem:
I know how to open a pipe to another program:
open (OUT, "|perl .\\bogus.pl") or warn "Unable to open pipe to
bogus.pl\n";
print OUT "Stuff\n";
And I know how to open a pipe from another program:
open (IN, "perl .\\bogus.pl|") or warn "Unable to open pipe from
bogus.pl\n";
$input = <IN>;
But when I try to do both...
open (OUT, "|perl .\\bogus.pl") or warn "Unable to open pipe to
bogus.pl\n";
open (IN, "perl .\\bogus.pl|") or warn "Unable to open pipe from
bogus.pl\n";
or
open (BOGUS, "|perl .\\bogus.pl|") or warn "Unable to open pipe for
bogus.pl\n";
....strange things happen.
Is there a simple (or even complex) way to open a two way pipe to another
program with Perl. (I don't want to use Expect or any other scripting
language if I can help it).
I'm trying to implement batch code for automating processes over night.
Some of these require a dialog.
TIA
Peter
