Running shell script which needs runtime input through perl

[snreddy_gopu]

Hi all, I have one shell script which needs runtime input. I have run this script through another shell script as follows

./setup.sh << EOI
a
EOI

Now I want to run that setup.sh shell script through perl script instead of another shell script.

I think you want piped open:

open my $fh, "| ./setup.sh" or die $!;

# print $fh "$_\n" for qw(a b c ...);

When you then say print $fh ..., the shell script gets the data on stdin, as it would from your current heredoc.
