External perl modules or programs

2004-04-16, 8:31 pm

Is it possible to run a perl program with external perl module(s)? I want
to call another perl module/program from a main perl program. If this is
possible could some give me a basic example so I could get started and
give it a try.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
G2

This is more of a Perl question than a Tk one.

Look at "perldoc -q external process"

Look at the IPC::Open3 module.

Tons of examples on http://groups.google.com

Just search for "perl system exec"
or "perl IPC::Open3"

Is there any particular (good) reason for not (i) reading any
documentation/introductory text/tutorial and/or (ii) asking e.g. in
clpmisc, rather than posting here?!?

use mypackage; # see also 'perldoc -q require'

# depending on what you *really* want to do, also:
system 'myprog.pl';
exec 'myprog.pl'; # unlikely!
my $out=qx/myprog.pl/;
open my $fh, '-|', 'myprog.pl' or die $!;
