Re: how to increase input buffer size in perl?

Use strict warnings and diagnostics or die
you're using open when you should be using open2
"input line is too long" is a shell error (cmd/sh/bash...) not perl (probably because youre not using open2)

Oh, that is a typo. I didn't copy and paste from my script but I AM using open2. Still have any ideas anyone?	[reply]

Could you turn that into runnable code, please? It's not clear where the message comes from. I doubt it's from Perl. Finding the cause (Perl or otherwise) is the first step in finding a solution.	[reply]

Perl gets "Broken Pipe", the other error is from shell, or idl program	[reply]

Yeah, the error has to do with how many arguments idl can accept. It caps out at 32766 character length. Instead I had to just write the array to a file and read that file inside the IDL script. Apparently you can't break up the array into separate lines either. IDL will throw an error.	[reply]
