Re^3: pass variable to another process when invoking from command line by gaal (Parson) on Dec 27, 2006 at 13:33 UTC
You have three different languages seemingly confused (sh, awk, and Perl). If the second program is a shell script, `while (my $var = <STDIN>)` is wrong. (You probably need something like `read var`.) If it is in Perl, you can't invoke awk just by mentioning it; you need `system` or something like that.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
