Re^4: Using <<EOL > output.out and EOL

Thanks a lot. I sure do have a long, long, long, long way to go on these Perl stuff

But just to clear up my head, |- means pipe the result of perl p_2.pl to open my $ph?

But just to clear up my head, \|- means pipe the result of perl p_2.pl to open my $ph? I would narrate that a little differently: 'In the script `p_1.pl`, open a (pipe) handle named `$ph` to the standard input of a `perl` interpreter application that is started as a separate process and given the script `p_2.pl` to interpret'. The data flow is all one-way: `p_1.pl` to `p_2.pl` via the `$ph` pipe handle. See Pipe Opens in perlopentut.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
