another option would be to open the command using the pipe syntax:
open CMD, '-|', 'util.exe';
# Another way to do this is:
#open CMD, 'util.exe |';
while(my $line = <CMD>){
# parse & process stuff
}
close CMD;
If you need to capture STDERR or do input and output at the same time,
you may want to look at open2 or open3.
