From within a perl script, how can I deternine if STDxxx is from/to a pipe?
You probably want a filetest. Maybe you want -p, which returns true if the filehandle is a pipe: my $piped_output = -p STDOUT; my $piped_input = -p STDIN; Many people want -t, which returns true if the filehandle is attached to a tty (i.e., a person). my $interactive = (-t STDIN) && (-t STDOUT); These filetests are documented in the perlfunc manpage under -X.
