I have a subroutine that I cannot modify, that asks a number of yes-no style questions and waits for STDIN before continuing. I would like to invoke this subroutine and feed it yes to all the questions. How do I do this? (To clarify on what I am trying to do see the following exemplary pseudo-code. I know some of the syntax is not proper Perl. )
sub askQuestions() { my $answer; my $isHumane; my $isStinky; print "Are you humane? "; $answer = getStringReadFromStdin(); # Will wait for input. if ($anwser eq "yes") { $isHumane = 1; } else { $isHumane = 0; # Should be ashamed of yourself } print "Do you smell? "; $answer = getStringReadFromStdin(); # Will wait for input. if ($anwser eq "yes") { $isStinky = 1; # Take a shower. } else { $isStinky = 0; } } sub askQuestionWrapper() { while (askQuestions() << print "yes") { } } askQuestionWrapper();
