Send data to STDIN of a exec'ed program
Have you looked at open2()? It's described in
perlipc
. If you're running 5.8, there's also
IPC::Open2
.

I did look at open2. As with open from pipe, there is more than one way to do what I already have. I thought that the extra file handles from pipe/fork would allow for shell redirection tricks. But, alas, it has not helped much. :-(
Any other ideas for taking the next step?
