[Chicago-talk] Scalar help.

[Richard Reina]

Brain,

This worked like a charm.  Thanks so much.  Next time you're in Lincoln Park let me know, I owe you a beer.

  Richard,

Here's a sample program that simulates typed input, waits for the user 
to edit/enter a line, and prints what it gets.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

my $sti = "Hello, world";

sub TIOCSTI { 0x5412; }         # From e.g. /usr/include/asm/ioctls.h

foreach my $char (split(//, $sti))
{
         ioctl(STDIN, TIOCSTI, $char);
}
print "Input received: ", scalar(<>);

# END
