On my Solaris box, I have a perl program that calls a second program via !system:
my $sys = !system "phymap" ; The results of phymap my be several lines of text. I would like to process these lines in perl, but since the parent waits for the child it does not appear that I can "feed" them to STDIN. I could write them to a temporary file, read them after the child process has returned control to the perl program, and then delete them, but it seems like I might find a "better" way. I would appreciate any suggestions or references.
