Re: perl scripting help

I don't use gnome-terminal but this works for me with xterm. It should get you started, anyway.

#!/usr/bin/env perl 
use strict;
use warnings;

system ('xterm', '-e', 'ls && sleep 10');

Hmm, if OP wants to have an interactive terminal that just executes some commands before dropping to the command line, something like this should work: `system('xterm', '-e', 'bash -rcfile /home/username/script.sh');` [download] `perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The xterm does open but closes after the sleep command. How can it stay open? Thanks!!!	[reply]

The same way you would without using Perl at all. eg: `system ('xterm', '-e', 'ls && read line');` [download] will happily leave the xterm open indefinitely until the user closes it (or submits a line). 🦛	[reply] [d/l]
