This was a very helpful answer. If anyone would like to see equivalent c
code, I'd be happy to post it.

From Chris:
hi Josh-
I'm no programmer but I used this to pipe some output to pymol from perl:
$pid=open(PYMOL,"| $pymol_path -qpxif 0");
where $pymol_path was the path to the executable, this opens pymol in a
viewer only mode.
one of those options allows pymol to listen to STDIN for input.
also perl needs:
PYMOL->autoflush(1);
HTH
Chris
