PipingSTDIN
- Thread starter gnikol1

do you mean from inside another perl script? if you do the answer is:
system('parser | script.pl'); Mike
"Experience is the comb that Nature gives us after we are bald."
Is that a haiku?
I never could get the hang
of writing those things.

ok
open(P, 'parser |') || die "Can't run parser\n$!\n";
while(<P>){
print $_; # each line of output from parser will be in $_
} Mike

"It is not the same as ......"
Unless you do something tricky to attach STDIN to a specific process, it is not the same.
Mike, is correct. You need to open a pipe to the parser process and 'listen' to that PIPE. STDOUT from that process will come in the pipe.
'hope this helps

yes, it's like that Yauncin, but you get some more control as well, like this example from the documentation.
open(SPOOLER, "| cat -v | lpr -h 2>/dev/null"
|| die "can't fork: $!";
local $SIG{PIPE} = sub { die "spooler pipe broke" };
print SPOOLER "stuff\n";
close SPOOLER || die "bad spool: $! $?";
