Fancy this, I gotta new problem
I'm calling a ksh script within my perl program. The ksh script basically
dumps a ton (multiple Gb) of data to stdout. I'd like my perl program to
dump it to stdout too. But if I do a:
print `ksh_script`;
The data doesn't get written to stdout till the ksh script completes, as
opposed to if I execute the ksh
script from the cmd line like:
# ksh_script > out
If I call the ksh script within my perl program I figure if I have to dump
multiple Gb of data I'll run out of memory long before the ksh script
completes. Is there a different way to call the ksh script from within perl
so that the output of the ksh goes straight to stdout? So that I can do:
# perl_script > out
without the memory requirements
Thanks
