Servus Franz,
nice to meet you again. Interesting things you're doing there :)
I am not familiar with shell commands yet, nor perl, but how do you get a
result from the shell execution back into a runrev field "feedback"?

Hi Tiemo,
I do something similar with Rebol scripts or standalones. The easy way to get
results back is to delete any existing relevant output file on the HD from Perl
first, and after calling your Perl module to do its job, poll the existence of
its output file on the HD until it appears, and when it does, put it into the
RunRev field.
For an example of simple shell calls and this kind of polling, see my Linux chooser widgets at
http://www.howsoft.com/runrev/stacks.htm . The demo pack you can download there is a standalone
program, but there is a button you can click on to see the coding for the shell calls and polling.
Or if you are using Windows, you can visit the old page (see the link at the top of the page
mentioned above) and see the coding in the "Choose File" and "Choose Picture"
buttons of the demo stack.
For an example of the "hybrid" use of Rev+Rebol, you might be interested in downloading
my "Spam Gobbler" program at http://www.howsoft.com/linux/ and
http://www.howsoft.com/linux/spamgobbler/ . But that's Linux again, which I believe is quite
popular in Germany, isn't it?
Bob
