Re^2: Is it possible to write to STDIN ?

Hey, this one is interesting and seem very likely what I am looking for... but please have a look for what I am planning to do, and could you advise can I do this inside the code rather than pipe it from the shell?

$ENV{REQUEST_METHOD} = "POST";

open F, "testplan.txt" or die $!;
while ( chomp ( my $data = <F> ) ) {

  ### DO ANYTHING TO MAKE $data BECOME STDIN ###  

  # the main() script that reads and handle the form
  # print final result
  # next test plan data
}
close F;

You could close STDIN and re-open it as a normal filehandle: `close(STDIN); open(STDIN, 'foo'); print $_ foreach(<STDIN>);` [download] The documentation for 'open' shows how to save and restore filehandles, and some other dirty tricks you can play.	[reply] [d/l]
