Seshouan has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
What other ways besides a socket are there that two perl scripts can communicate with each other?
Is it possible to open a pipe between two scripts? if yes, how? THanks
Have a look at the pipe example I posted at Re: Parallel::ForkManager vs global variables which demonstrates a parent talking to it's forked child (and vice versa) across pipes. Also do a Super Search for interprocess communication in the text for plenty more on this.
