in reply to Running CMD in perl invoked xterm

  1. Proc::Background to spawn a shell in the background (say with a specific title)
  2. find its window , say by title, using X11::GUITest FindWindowLike
  3. X11::GUITest function SendKeys to type in the shell
  4. X11::GUITest ... to bring shell to focus
Probably easier to launch a shellscript with system, which does stuff and opens a shell

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply, but I need it in my work place, and we dont have here X11 module, and I'm not authurized to install such modules.

    Do you have another good solution?

      Sure, magic. All it requires is a small blood sacrifice... :|
