in reply to equivalent to prove?

It's easy to capture STDOUT and then send it along. When you launch your sub-script do it like this:

   open(SUB, "sub.pl |") or die $!

The "|" at the end tells Perl to do a fork()/exec() and hook up STDOUT from sub.pl to your SUB filehandle. Then you can do:

while (my $line = <SUB>) { # do something with $line... # then print it out: print $line; }

Give it a try and post again if you run into trouble.
