Hi - I have a perl 'filter' script that relies on piped input from STDIN, i.e.:
find /etc/ | ./myfilter.pl etc... I have a need to interact with the user later in this script (or in a forked script), and , hence need STDIN to again accept input from the keyboard device after I process all of the piped input. It doesn't work. I have tried to deactivate the pipe with: close STDIN; which works, but I can't seem to figure out how to reopen STDIN to the keyboard device. Any hints?
