You confuse STDIN with command line parameters. These are basic
concepts in Unix and even in MS-DOS from the earliest versions.

Avoid the external program generally and incorporate the (simple)
conversion into your Perl program.
I you really wan the external program do something like that:
open (DATA, "-| tai64nlocal < $datafile") or die ("...");
while () {
my $human_readable = $_;
...

Thanks for your input.
My problem was that I didn't hit return after typing 'tai64nlocal'. I
typed:
"tai64nlocal @40003b225d8422c3027c RET"
whereas I should have typed:
"tai64nlocal RET @40003b225d8422c3027c RET"
^^^
This seems weird to me, since all the other daemontools don't need to
be 'initialized' by hitting a return before giving them input.
When walking through a log file I'd like to do something like:
while () {
my $human_readable = qx!/usr/local/bin/tai64nlocal $_!
}
Any suggestions as to how this could be done?

But for me > it just hangs until I hit Ctrl+C: This is normal, expected behaviour. tai64nlocal reads stdin and writes to stdout. tai64nlocal doesn't exit until stdin is closed or the process is killed. You're killing it with ^C; if you type ^D instead, you close the process's stdin and it exits cleanly. This isn't a qmail issue; it's a shell issue. If you have further problems, please take it to a list supporting your OS or whichever shell you use.

tai64nlocal problem
I would like to begin using multilog instead of splogger. I've installed daemontools and run the tests for tai64nlocal successfully: [root:/usr/local/src/daemontools-0.70]$ date | ./tai64n | ./tai64nlocal 2001-06-15 16:11:06.389339500 Fri Jun 15 16:11:06 GMT 2001 The docs say that tai64nlocal reads lines from stdin. But for me it just hangs until I hit Ctrl+C: [root:/usr/local/src/daemontools-0.70]$ ./tai64nlocal @400037c219bf2ef02e94 ^C [root:/usr/local/src/daemontools-0.70]$ I'm on OpenBSD 2.8.
