This is probably more of a question than a response:

The way I'd do it would be like this:

use strict;
use warnings;
use FileHandle;

my $handle = FileHandle->new("/path/to/process |");
$handle->autoflush(1);

while(my $line = <$handle>) {
        print $line;
        # do something useful with $line...
}

But I assume that doesn't work for some reason. Can anyone tell me why?
