Well, you read the output from the handle. And by output, I mean whatever the program writes to STDOUT. If the program "outputs" by driving the terminal and printing to the terminal, it becomes something different. `open my $fh, "cat \|" or die; while (<$fh>) { print "Got: $_"; } close $fh or die; __END__ foo Got: foo bar Got: bar baz Got: baz ^D` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
