Hi Haukex,

Thank you once again. Your solution helped me automate an important task at work. While I am truly obliged to you, I am still not able to understand a 100% of everything that the IPC::Run3 module does even after reading the documentation, because my perl skill is pretty rudimentary. Considering this, I request you to please answer the following questions.

How did it occur to you to use Data::Dumper and then use IPC::Run3? Why not anything else? Is it instinct or based on some form output that you saw?

I have extremely basic understanding of IPC, perl references and such, which I am sure is clearly revealed in my questions, so how do I get better at understanding the CPAN docs? Clearly, they are good enough for most folks, but sometimes I find the content tough to understand. May be a book would help, which leads to the next question...

What book would you suggest for someone like me who knows perl but wants to get much better acquainted with perl? Yes, ofcourse, nothing would come close to writing code and asking questions here, but I truly want to get good with Perl hence the question on books...Edit - I currently have "Beginning Perl" by Ovid and its a fantastic book, but just wanted to know if I should go for some other books too?
