Greetings Monks,

Working on a Perl script in which I need to call a third party executable. The executable is interactive and asks lots of random questions to the invoker. I want to invoke the executable from the Perl script and give the control to the script runner(invoker). Once the executable is filled with all the details, I want to have the control back in my script and to continue with the remaining code.

# Lots of random code #
unless (fork()) {
   exec "inter.exe", "--active";
}
# Some remaining code

The above approach is not working as it is not getting executable in interactive phase. I can not directly use exec here as it will obliterate the existing process.
