This seems to have worked the best of all, after I turned off buffering for STDOUT/STDERR, with code such as this:
my ($ofh) = select(STDOUT); $| = 1; select($ofh);
$ofh = select(STDERR); $| = 1; select($ofh);
my ($out, $err);
run (
[ '/usr/sbin/pkgrm', 'VRTSvxvm' ],
'>', sub { $out .= $_[0]; print $_[0] },
'2>', sub { $err .= $_[0]; print $_[0] },
);
Now, if the program I was running demands that it connects to a pty before it will unbuffer STDOUT/STDERR properly, what could I do? I've tried the following, but it doesn't send any output to the screen:
use IPC::Run qw(run);
my ($out, $err);
run (
[ '/usr/sbin/pkgrm', 'VRTSvxvm' ],
'>', sub { $out .= $_[0]; print $_[0] },
'>', '>pty>',
'2>', sub { $err .= $_[0]; print $_[0] },
'2>', '>pty>'
);

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
