If you want to interact with Moses from the keyboard as you're trying to do
below, just run:
> moses -config moses.ini 2>/dev/null | awk 'BEGIN {print "Enter some
text:"} {print "Response: "$0"\n"}'
If you need something more involved, you can use the perl open3 library in
your program to interact with the stdin/stdout/stderr of the child process.
