If you just need to feed input via stdin, you can to a pipe open:

   open F, "|/path/to/some_program" or die $!;
   print F "command\n";
   ...
   close F or die $!;

If the program expects to work with a terminal (tty), you can use the Expect
module to set up a pseudo-tty (pty) and interact with the program that way.

Is there a module which works in this way?


Yes: Expect.pm


How can I do?


Read the documentation, then write a program that uses Expect.pm.

running interactively

[Adriano Allora]

ha to all,

I need to use a a shell-program but I cannot pass all the arguments to 
this program via system() function. In other words: the program doesn't 
accept all the arguments via command line: I need to open it and write 
interactively some instructions.


Is there a module which works in this way?

How can I do?

Thank you all,
