Re: Redirect Unix Input Within Perl

in reply to Redirect Unix Input Within Perl

What do you mean by "issues using the "open" command." ? If it is failing you should be getting a meaningful message from $?. Anyway if you want to capture the output of the program as well as piping to it's STDIN you probably want to look at the module IPC::Open2 which is standard with Perl.

The "execopu" program is complaing about null fields and mask problems when I use the Perl script. I have no idea what those are because there's no documentation about that. But "execopu" is working usiung the "execopu -text < file.txt" method, but not with the Perl script. ???	[reply]
