Hi,

what i'm creating is just an EXTREMELY script that sends an array to another
script via PIPE.
This is what i have:

################
#! /usr/bin/perl
@file = qw (tony boby zombie anthony martine eric charlie);
open(SORT, "| perl sorted.pl");

while(@file){
chomp $_;
print SORT "$_\n";
}

print "DID it WORKed??";
###########################

Now in my other script called  sorted. pl i'm using the "sort" command to
sort the array. But my question is How should i write the sorted.pl script
to received the data and then send it back If you could write the code for
me please.
I tried, @ARGV - <STDIN>  or shift but no luck. I really don't know how to
do it

Any help GREATLY appreciated, maybe my other script is also wrong,

I am wondering if how you are going about this is completely wrong, why is the second script being called over the command line (pipe) in teh first place. Lets back up a few steps first...

Is there a reason why the built-in 'sort' can't be used?

perldoc -f sort

Is there a reason why the functionality in the 'sorted.pl' can't be encapsulated, and then 'require'd or 'use'd, and then call the subroutine that would encapsulate that functionality?

If all you are trying to do is sort an array it should be *much* simpler than this...
