Use -t to test STDIN and STDOUT:
sub I_am_interactive { return -t STDIN && -t STDOUT; }
If you're on a POSIX system, test process groups:
sub I_am_interactive { local *TTY; # local file handle open(TTY, "/dev/tty") or die "can't open /dev/tty: $!"; my $tpgrp = tcgetpgrp(fileno(TTY)); my $pgrp = getpgrp(); close TTY; return ($tpgrp == $pgrp); }
