hello wise ones

i had a strange Perl idea but i can get it works: i want a program that can transform itself into another thing on given argouments.
I would like to use it alone:
   me.pl --execute  --key sum
or in a pipeline, like in:
   echo '1 2 3' | me.pl --execute  --key sum | cat

I' m using Getopt::Long as it can grab options that i need in the main program, and can also leave other things in @ARGV..
The below code only works in the case c and not in pipeline:
   me.pl --execute  --key c 1 2 3
Any suggestion or explication are welcome

thanks

#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Getopt::Long; my ( $execute, $key); GetOptions ( "key=s" => \$key, "execute" => \$execute)||die; my %cmds = ( a => sub {exec 'perl -e "print map {qq!\t$_\n!}"',@_ }, b => sub {exec 'perl -e "$|++;print qq(ee r r );sleep 5"' +}, c => sub {my $res; foreach (@ARGV) {$res+=$_}; print $res +;exit 0 }, ); if ($execute && exists $cmds{$key} ) { print "ole\n"; $cmds{$key}->(@ARGV); } # theoretically never here .. print "still in \@ARGV: ", (join("|",@ARGV),"\n");
UPDATE:
on ikegami suggestion i add what i'm getting on tests: echo 1 2 3 | code-dispatch.pl --execute --key c gives something like:"the process proved to write in an unexisting pipe"
ole

Use of uninitialized value $res in print at c:\SCRIPTS\code-dispatch.pl line 14.

echo 1 2 3 | code-dispatch.pl --execute --key a prints:
ole
c:\SCRIPTS>syntax error at -e line 1, at EOF
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
and program hangs..
