Re^5: Redirecting Output to shell command from within perl

my version of Windows doesn't have tee installed

D:\Users\Rolf\pm>type call_less.pl
open STDOUT, '| tee -i null | more';;
print "hello world! $_\n" for 1.. 100;
close STDOUT;
exit;


D:\Users\Rolf\pm>call_less.pl
Der Befehl "tee" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.

Please note that the effect is best seen with small amounts of lines, hence 100.

> but then I wouldn't do it,

Neither would I, but I'm not the OP! :)

UPDATE

Using (and closing) a dedicated PIPE instead of STDOUT solves the issue for me on Win. see Re: Redirecting Output to shell command from within perl (Update "close PIPE")

This only uses native commands: `open STDOUT, '\| more \| more';; print "hello world! $_" for 1.. 1000; exit;;` [download] With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Doesn't work for me. What's happening is that I need to always type `RET` before being able to send a command to "more". Looks like the "readline" of `%CMD%` is also active and interfering.
