FWIW, I'm still getting STDIN/tty errors to $err, but it is running interactively and asking for my password. It appears to be a limitation of su, requiring local tty control(?). There are others here who would be better qualified to answer that one. I have no problem running non-su commands, though. Good Luck!

 

I think the best solution for mikfire with this problem would be to investigate the use of sudo - This command allows administrators to grant permissions to users to execute priviledged commands without having to su to root. The advantage with this command offers in this scenario however is that, when configured as such, it allows priviledged commands to be executed by users without prompting for a password.

 

perl -e 's&&rob@cowsnet.com.au&&&split/[@.]/&&s&.com.&_&&&print'
