Note that this would still destroy STDIN, but at least you have the data available to the two parts of your application that need it. They just need to be re-written to use <$A> and/or <$B> instead of <STDIN>.

You could actually even do without the 2nd variable:

my $A = new IO::String ($data); &exhaust_file_handle($A); # read everything from $A $A->setpos(0); # rewind &also_exhaust($A); # 2nd process reads everything from $A
Since $A isn't a native file handle, you can't seek() on it, but this will do just as well and should be indistinguishable from your two separate processes.

You will also need to do this in a BEGIN { } block, so that all of this mangling of STDIN is done before use CGI ($A) is called.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
