Does anyone know if it is possible to "pipe" output such as the

I have a REPL that reads in code. What I want to be able to do
is make changes to code in BBEdit, and then send it into a
running instance of my environment, so that, for example, I can
make changes to the code and have those changes take effect in
the running instance without having to reload and re-execute
everything. Is this possible?
What is REPL?
Anyway, I doubt that you can get BBEdit to reload code on behalf
of another program. But it's easy enough to write a script
(Perl, AppleScript, etc) that can tell the other program that
it's time to re-read the code file. I do something similar with
apache/mod_perl. After I make code changes I hit a command key
which triggers a script (within BBEdit) to tell apache to reload.
As for how to have code changes take effect without reloading;
that will depend on the program that is running the code. Does
it support live code changes?
