Hi ikegami,

I was playing with the -t STDIN that you mentioned but I think I missed something. Please see below.

Here's the ask_input.pl 
#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Enter your answer?\n";
if ( -t STDIN ) {
    <STDIN>;
    print "Terminal was used.\n";
}
else {
    print "Not a terminal.\n";
}

print "Done.\n";

Here's the caller.pl 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

system( "perl /tmp/ask_input.pl" );

[download]
So, when I run caller.pl on the terminal, it will still ask for the input... but I thought it should not do this.
