Here is an example, which is a stripped down version of Tk::ExecuteCommand. I run a bash shell, but you can put in your program directly. Some programs do need a pty (rarely), so see if you can get this to run first.
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Tk; use IPC::Open3; require Tk::ROText; $|=1; my $mw = new MainWindow; my $entry=$mw->Entry(-width => 80)->pack; $mw->Button(-text => 'Execute', -command => \&send_to_shell)->pack; my $textwin =$mw->Scrolled('ROText', -width => 80, -bg =>'white', -height => 24, )->pack; $textwin->tagConfigure( 'err', -foreground => 'red' ); my $pid = open3( \*IN, \*OUT, \*ERR, '/bin/bash' ) or warn "$!\n"; $mw->fileevent( \*OUT, readable => \&read_stdout ); $mw->fileevent( \*ERR, readable => \&read_stderr ); $entry->focus; MainLoop; sub read_stdout { if( sysread( OUT, my $buffer, 1024 ) > 0 ){ $textwin->insert( 'end', $buffer ); $textwin->see('end'); } } sub read_stderr { if( sysread(ERR, my $buffer, 1024 ) > 0 ){ $textwin->insert( 'end', $buffer, 'err' ); $textwin->see('end'); } } sub send_to_shell { my $cmd= $entry->get(); print IN "$cmd\n"; }
