Dear Perl Monks,
perl-5.16.3-286.el7.x86_64
I seek the following wisdom. I am trying to create a sample .pl script to demonstrate how to:
1) read a pipe and read parameters at the same time, and
2) not hang if the pipe is empty
This is basically the thing I am trying to demonstrate:
ls -al | grep -i xxx
where the grep both reads parameters and the pipe.
This is what I have so far and the resulting errors (I still hang on an empty pipe)
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $Pipe= "";
while (<>){ # replaced in Perl 5.22 with "for ( @ARGV )"
# Reference: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1175906
# for ( @ARGV ) {
$Pipe .= $_;
}
print "This was read from the pipe:\n";
print "<$Pipe>\n\n";
print "This was the read from the parameters:\n";
print "<@{ARGV}>\n";
__END__
$ ( echo Hi; sleep 3; echo Bye ) | ./ReadAPipe.pl 1 2 3 4
Can't open 1: No such file or directory at ./ReadAPipe.pl line 9.
Can't open 2: No such file or directory at ./ReadAPipe.pl line 9.
Can't open 3: No such file or directory at ./ReadAPipe.pl line 9.
Can't open 4: No such file or directory at ./ReadAPipe.pl line 9.
This was read from the pipe:
<>
This was the read from the parameters:
<>
Many thanks,
-T

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
