Well, if that gets converted to a '/bin/sh -c', it will probably crash if @array really does have thousands of lines in it. There is a hard limit to the number of parameters that sh will take.
Here is one solution:
open( PROG, '| /tmp/scripts.pl' );
for ( @ARRAY ) {
print PROG $_;
}
close( PROG );
If you do it that way, then you will have to write your other script to accept the data via STDIN.
If this is too slow for you, you might want to take a look at IPC::Shareable::SharedMem for a shared memory solution.

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).
