Kindly tell the pseudocode to solve the following
problem:
An user input is provided to a perl program by
STDIN. This input is utilised by a fortran program to
perform some function. How do i connect both the

the user via the perl program itself.
Waiting for an early response. thanking you...
Here's some pseudocode:
$response = get_user_input();
$result = have_fortran_work_on( $response );
$finish = tell_user_about( $result );
# maybe or maybe not do anything with $finish
For the Fortran bit I've stubbed into have_fortran_work_on(), the usual
way to do this, short of an Inline::Fortran module on CPAN (there
doesn't seem to be one, though there are ones like Inline::C, etc), is
to make a system() call to the external program.
<http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/system.html>
Try using a system() call in your own pseudocode for
have_fortran_work_on().
If you're stuck, ask more specific questions, and show what you've tried
so far.
