Well, this sounds like nonsense to me. Seems like it was taken from: http://www.softpanorama.org/People/scripting_guants.shtml (see the second paragraph). Perl's got very good pipes, thank you very much, and I don't think you can really compare a shell language with a scripting language. Anyway, this is cpan-discuss, and if you've already seen perldoc perlipc Then maybe might like to have a look at the following for subprocesses and pipes: http://search.cpan.org/dist/IPC-Run/ or http://search.cpan.org/dist/IPC-Run3/ Regards, Leon -- Leon Brocard.............................http://www.astray.com/ scribot.................................http://www.scribot.com/ ...
