Connecting stdin to stdout and stdout to stdin of two perl scripts

[tianshiz]

hey guys,

I have two perl scripts that takes input and outputs. I know its possible to have one script to read the stdout of the other:

perl param_send.pl | perl param_receive.pl

but is it possible for param_send to also receive from param_receive at the same time? I guess this is sort of like a feedback loop

thanks!

Not sure how you could do it using stdin/stdout; but you could easily create a named pipe file and use that instead? See man mknod.
