Thanks Chris(taint).
I guess this should work.
Let me explain a bit. There is a tool which comes along with CA application. And that application has more than 100 options to choose from, and i am trying to automate that without even seeing the options on the screen. And that tool is called XPSExplorer. Below is the code on what i working on.
I have created a .txt file and run the code as below
perl callxps.pl input.txt
use warnings;
use strict;
use ARGV::readonly;
use Netegrity::PolicyMgtAPI;
system(XPSExplorer);
while (<>)
{
print;
}
But what happens is that it doesn't pass the value in the text file to the command line, rather when i quit, it prints the value

Hello, ChristieJS.
If I understand you correctly. You're working with callxps.pl, which is the XPSExplorer application/initiator, and attempting to pass input.txt, as argument(s) to that file.
If so, the problem (I suspect) is. That callxps.pl wasn't designed that way. If you were on a *NIX based box. You might be able to make use of "redirection" -- (callxps.pl < input.txt). But, I suspect, a bit of a long-shot.
Even if redirection worked. You're still going to need the keys. So that you can create key / value pairs. eg;
# assuming name, password are keys
my $name = qw(ChristieJS);
my $password = qw(SuperSecret);
# or
name = ChristieJS
password = SuperSecret
# or
name: ChristieJS
password: SuperSecret
and how to best pass those, largely depends on the format expected from callxps.pl. You might even be able to pass input.txt as
perl callxps.pl & input.txt
again, a bit of a stretch.
Honestly, as should be pretty apparent by now, I'm groping. We still don't have enough details to effectively provide a reasonable solution.
You might be able to find the keys in callxps.pl, and create a wrapper, that calls callxps.pl, passing the key values to callxps.pl. This, I think, for your situation, would be the best choice. But in the end. Without those keys. Providing a more specific answer/solution, is pretty much, a futile endevour.
Now that you have a better idea of exactly what's required, perhaps you can figure it out. Or provide better details, so we might be better prepared to answer.
