Hello everybody ,, I'm a beginner in perl .I'm having a small problem with my code : 
$|=1;
my $myohmy : shared = 1;
print "Checking ..";
$thr = threads->create(\&checkdot)->detach;
$thr1 = threads->create(\&psou);
$thr1->join();
$myohmy = 0;

sub checkdot
{
$|++;
while ( $myohmy == 1 )
{
print ".";
sleep 1;
}
} ###### above code not relevant #####

sub psou
{
open (PS, "$psout |"); #### $psout is the command #######
}


while (<PS>) ####### PROBLEM -> No output here ####
{

..

######## It is here the problem occurs ,, the filehandle PS is not visible , I'm pretty sure it's a scoping problem , because when the "open" statement is outside the subroutine, the code after "while" works . I have also tried creating a global variable , and with the three argument open , but it doesn't work . Could you please suggest me as to how I can fix this #############
