Start with perldoc -q 'pipe both' Which leads you to perldoc perlipc (search for "Bidirectional Communication with Another Process") > (I don't want to use Expect or any other scripting > language if I can help it).

Perl's Expect module is easy to use. > I'm trying to implement batch code for automating processes > over night. > Some of these require a dialog. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
