If you don't want to use a module like IPC::Open2, then you need 2 pipes, 1 to send the array, and 1 to return the sorted array. After your sort script is finished, have it write it to another pipe back to the original script. You will have to keep the original script going, while the sort script does it's work, so you will have to work out a loop of some kind, to check for the return array through the second pipe. It all can be done. But you will find that the IPC series of modules take care of all the details for you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
