Pipe perl to .bat

theneil has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, Weird situation. I'm using a BMC monitoring program that allows me to call an external program and pipe it's output as a variable back into the BMC app. The problem is that it won't run a perl script. It only recognizes .bat files (as far as I can tell). So my question is: How can I run a .bat file that calls a perl script that outputs backs to the .bat file that outputs to the BMC app? Here's what I've got so far:

@echo off
call "D:\Program Files\Perl\bin\perl.exe" bayes.pl testArgs

#bayes.pl will return the output on the screen

#I need to pipe that output back into the .bat file and then I've got 
+it from there

echo BAYESOUTPUT; >> %1

So how do I get what the perl script outputs back into .bat file as an argument/variable? Thanks

If you have ActiveState perl, look in your Perl\bin directory for pl2bat.bat With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. The start of some sanity?	[reply]

need to pipe that output back into the .bat file and then I've got it from there Huh? `$ cat shama.bat @echo off @perl -le " print for 2, 4, 6, 8; " $ call shama.bat 2 4 6 8 $ cat shecko.bat @echo off @perl -ne " print qq[# shecko # $_]; " $ call shama.bat \| call shecko.bat # shecko # 2 # shecko # 4 # shecko # 6 # shecko # 8` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
