Hi fireblood,

There's a few issues here:

First, the piece of documentation you quoted refers to re-using <>, but your program doesn't do that, it only uses <> once. Note that the documentation you quoted is referring specifically to the magic <> operator with no filehandle, not to the <...> operator in general.

Second, I think BillKSmith is right: in your example, your STDIN is being fed from echo's output by the shell, i.e. the redirection of STDIN is external to your program.

Here's something that works for me (Linux):

use Term::ReadLine; my $term = Term::ReadLine->new; while(<>) { chomp; print "Got line: \"$_\"\n"; } my $in = $term->readline("Input: "); print "Got input: \"$in\"\n";

Example session (I'm typing "test" at the prompt):

$ echo -e "Hello\nWorld" | perl in.pl Got line: "Hello" Got line: "World" Input: test Got input: "test"

But I'd also ask what the bigger picture is? I think you'd have more choices as to how to handle your input if you didn't rely on the shell's pipe, instead you could have the shell write the output of the previous program to a file and have your script read that, or have your script run the command as a child and read its output (there are many modules to help you with that - I listed some of them here).

Hope this helps,

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
