Interesting. And useful. Learn something new, etc. I just tried
this out and not only does it work as described, I think I just found
a replacement for straight perl (I'm much more comfortable with PHP
than perl).
I also just tried some simple stdin stuff with it and it does what it
should. So I'd have to ask what exactly you're doing, what exactly
is happening and what were you expecting to happen?
Vince.
