Hi zentara

True, and I completely agree with what you said

"Running a bash shell thru IPC is useful when you want to send a series of commands to the shell, and keep it alive."

now I am sure that I am going in the right direction.

Well, yes I am shooting series of commands at a shell instance.

As of now I am using something like this: 

foreach (@cmds)
{
  $result = `($cmd) 2>&1`;
}

I have found that each time I call a shell command using back ticks a new instance of shell is used.

All that I want to do is re-use the bash instance.

But then when I use IPC::Open3, I don't know how to capture the result directly I was forced to use while to loop through the result.

but I am getting lost inside while loop; unable to come out, which is stopping me from running the next command in the que.

mommy :(
