Thanks Chris(taint). I guess this should work.

Let me explain a bit. There is a tool which comes along with CA application. And that application has more than 100 options to choose from, and i am trying to automate that without even seeing the options on the screen. And that tool is called XPSExplorer. Below is the code on what i working on.

I have created a .txt file and run the code as below

perl callxps.pl input.txt 
use warnings;
use strict;
use ARGV::readonly;
use Netegrity::PolicyMgtAPI;
system(XPSExplorer);
while (<>)
    {
        print;
    }

But what happens is that it doesn't pass the value in the text file to the command line, rather when i quit, it prints the value
