I don't remember exactly how Perl works, and this is untested, but I think it should be something like: open (CMD_OUT, "| /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f somedude\@someplace.com -d anotherdude\@destination.dom"); print CMD_OUT $stringified; my $test = <CMD_OUT>; print $test; The idea is that you write the string to the pipe to deliver that you open, and deliver reads it from stdin.
