how do i...

There must be some way of doing this but I can not find it.

Given a module that expects arguments of (\*STDIN, \*STDOUT)
I would really rather pass this through memory once from $var1 to $var2
because the data is small and file IO is going to be very costly.

How do you "fake" it?

typeglobs?

Sorry guys for wasting all your bandwidth.

I don't find the answer in dead tree books but I find the answer in the
frickin' perldocs.

perldocs rock!

Now if I would only read them... :)

BTW:

open (IN, ">", $var);
open (OUT, "<", $new_var);
call them as (\*IN, \*OUT)
close IN;
close OUT;

done....
