My issues is, iam trying to automate a download process , in which iam supposed to call the script which i mentioned

more information on shell script is as below

it requires 2 inputs , so when i call this script, i need to the output in screen to key in the inputs

regarding ctrl-c termination, it will display status at the end as download completed and remains idle, unless we press ctrl-c it wont come out from the script.

i have no right to modify shell script, so iam thinking alternatives to be considered in perl

if i fork a child process which can run shell script and upon clicking ctrl-c if child process terminates and returns to parent , it would solve my pupose , but iam not sure if this supports in perl
