Morning All,
=20
I have been beating round the bush for some time ... just thought tht a=
sking the experienced people would help. Hence Posting this mail.
=20
I have a perl script called "a.pl" on a unix machine and i also have a =
shell script called "get.sh" on the same machine. Now "get.sh" prompts th=
e user to answer many questions ... so i wanted to create a perlscript "a=
..pl" that would enter fixed-values for these questions. i.e. "a.pl" woul=
d be a wrapper script of "get.sh".
=20
My question:- How do i pass these fixed-values from "a.pl" to "get.sh"?=
??

Hello Bill et al,
=20
The arguments are as many as 20 to 25 ... a typo here or there could cr=
eate havoc ... get.sh is a widely used script ... it takes of many things=
in the workflow here but ... the parameter no. is huge ... but the sad p=
art is the workflow still requires these parameters !!!

If you can modify get.sh to check for ARGV parameters, you could
also just pass the args in on the commandline and bypass all the
hard stuff.

system "/some/path/get.sh arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4";

Re: passing values from a perl-script to a shell-script

I can't think of a way to do what you'd like off the top of my head,
but you may be able to write an expect script. A quick search yeilded
a nice little article about expect.

Perfectly good advice. However, if you need/have to use Perl then it
might be worth looking at the Expect module.

See http://search.cpan.org/search?query=Expect&mode=all
