[..]i create a datastructure in one.pl and would like to make it travel to other.pl so i can process the datastructure there
how do i go about it ?
a direction to point me to ?
pipe ? module ?
the first part of the problem is whether what is created in one.pl at run time needs to be shared with other.pl - or is the 'data structure' more a matter of a general phrame work - akin to say a generic object, or C structure.
If one.pl is dynamically creating information that will need to be shared then you clearly need to start with
perldoc perlipc
since the stock solutions are basically
a. write to a file the other will read
b. open a pipe to the other
c. open a socket to the other
d. have one piece of code which if called as
one.pl will fork itself as other.pl and
do a pipe between the two - but if called
as other.pl would execute on ....one of the simplests ways to do this:
./one.pl | ./other.pl
would be a simple unix pipe in which the stdout of one.pl becomes the stdin of other.pl - and all you need is to 'serialize' your data.
The more complex way would be your basic pipe and exec trick say something like:
<http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/Sys/gen_sym_big_dog.txt>
so you will need to be a bit more clear about whether it is really run time data - or the fact that both codes will need a common perl module that understands how to create a given data structure ( object ) and how to access the data in that object but with different parameters at run time...
