I have several Perl apps that run external Perl processes. I'm running the external processes for purposes of memory management and organization. It works very well, but the external processes only print their results to the "main" app when they finish and close. I want to be able to print to the command prompt of the main app so I can inform the user as to the progress of processing in the external process.
Is there any way to write to the main command prompt from the external process? I'm assuming not...but Perl never ceases to amaze. And/Or...is it possible to open another prompt for the external process and write to that? The external processes don't open in a prompt currently....just run behind the scenes.
Cheers,
