Hello all,
I have a CGI script that I need to display the output of a shell program,
basically a simple C program that parses some text.
The output is right to the browser, and I don't want it to be creating any
new files or anything. I have a data field that has a blob and that blob
needs to be parsed and the output returned to the browser.
What is a good way to do this:
while ( my ($row ) = $sth->fetchrow_hashref ) {
my $raw_data = $row->{BLOB};
my $parsed_data = system ("echo $raw_data|pasrer");
...
}
of course that doesn't work, but what would be the right way to do it?
Cheers.

You should have a look at the section "Pipe Opens" in,
perldoc perlopentut
Should be what you are looking for. I do assume you have a good reason
for writing the parser in C....

I didn't write it, way beyond me.
Thanks.
