in reply to Re: Re: Pipe Question
in thread Pipe Question

You're correct about the placement of the pipe (and not getting a count without its correct placement).

But on my system this works:

open (P, "./from.pl |");

and this does not work:

open (P, "from.pl |");

From the shell I must always specify a script's path, unless the path is defined in PATH.
