I don't know anything about the specifics of your situation, so I've just jumped to the money question, hopefully this advice is still on target. Try IPC::Open2 which allows you to open a filehandle both for STDIN and STDOUT to/from any command (including bash I presume). If you need STDERR as well then IPC::Open3 will work a treat (be careful the STDIN and STDOUT handle position in the parameter list switches between open2 and open3). >I imagine a way like open the bash at skript startup, do all >my things line by line and close the bash at the end.

You should just be able to pump commands into a filehandle opened with "| /path/to/bash", unless something's happening that you're not expecting. -- Jason King _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
