Is is possible to tie STDIN/STDOUT using IO::Scalar such that an mini-program run via an eval statement would, when using STDIN and STDOUT, actually be reading and writing strings? This snippet gives the sense of what I'm trying to do:
# untested
my $code = 'while (<>) { print; }'; # would typically be more interest
+ing
my $output = ''; # storage for output
my $input = "more and more\nstuff here"; # would typically be more int
+eresting
{
tie *STDIN, 'IO::Scalar', \$input;
tie *STDOUT, 'IO::Scalar', \$output;
eval "$code";
}
# interesting stuff should be in output here
My program seems to hang at the while(<>).
Thanks for advice, great monks!
