Re: communicating with another program

[Delusional]

Scalled down to the minimun. Only tested once to be sure it 'runs':

test1.pl

my $returned = `test2.pl aaa bbb ccc`;
print "Got \"$returned\" from test2.pl\n";
exit;

test2.pl

foreach $line (@ARGV) { $input .= $line; }
if ($input ne '') { print "We received input:\n$input"; }
else { print "Error, no input received!"; }
exit;

That does exactly what I need and is very simple. Thanks a bunch. :-)
