Currently a ported version of our C-Shell system has been made using Perl. The problem is that our C-Shell scripts would call each other and pass along the initial STDIN without anything special being done. Example: callingcshell.csh < myval1 myval2 myval3 These myval's would then be used according to whatever STDIN call was waiting for STDIN, namely the menus. The problem is that on cshell this would work: in callingcshell.csh: myshell1.csh ( 1 STDIN request ) myshell2.csh ( 1 STDIN request ) in myshell1.csh: myshell1_1.csh ( 1 STDIN request ) each of these depending on the order called would get 1 value. ie- myshell1.csh got myval1, myshell1_1.csh got myval2 and myshell2.csh got myval3. on perl however (.prl is the extension we use ), only the myshell1.prl ( equivalent to myshell1.csh ) would get a value, the rest wouldn't get anything. Is there anything I can set or do to get Perl to behave like this?
