Re^3: Perl and Can Bus

./receivetest a pcan linux driver script

So that's an executable you have to run and it writes the data stream to stdout?

[Jalcock501]

Yes, the stream comes through as stdout which I can redirect as input to the perl script.

The your simplest approach would be to use a piped open. Something like this:

#! perl -w
use strict;

open STREAM, './receivetest |' or die $!;

while( my $line = <STREAM> ) {
    print $line;
}

That should get you started. Come back with questions arising.
