Re: Parsing from another program (stream)

Looking at your various attempts with open statements, you're trying to do inter-process communication (IPC). Take a look at IPC::Open2 or IPC::Open3, to get back a file-handle you can read your data from, handling the various errors that might happen in a more DWIM manner than a raw "open".

I think the big takeaway is to be ever-lazier (as we know, one of the three cardinal (ha!) virtues of the programmer) - and start by googling to see if someone else has already made the thing I want to do.	[reply]
