Hi Monks,
I am using IPC::Open2 for controlling INPUT AND OUTPUT of a programme (bash shell). But, I am facing a little bit trouble. When I am giving a command (which I am taking from STDIN, processing it and giving to shell). The command, which I am giving to SHELL, if it is correct I am getting it's output, but if I am giving a wrong command I am getting error. But, from then onwards I am not getting output of even correct command. what could be wrong ?? Can anybody help me ....

Thanks .... 

#! /usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use IPC::Open2;
use FileHandle;

do {
  my $pid = open2( \*Reader, \*Writer, "bash" );
  Writer->autoflush(); # default here, actually
  Reader->autoflush();
  STDIN->autoflush();
  my $cmd = <STDIN>;
  print Writer $cmd;
  my $got = <Reader>;
  print $got;
} while(1);
