Hi everyone!

Just a quick reminder that Bill Ott will be presenting "Perl That's Simple
Enough for Beginners, but Cool Enough for Everyone" this Friday at the Grand
Rapids Public Library Downtown. He'll present a number of real-life Perl
hacks to do things like manipulating online polls, automatically entering
online sweepstakes over and over again, and interacting with an air
conditioner over a serial port in a building three miles away.  The  meeting
will start at 11:30am, and there is a map available here:

http://www.grpl.org/yourlibrary/locations/grm.html

Please RSVP if you get a chance, so we know how many people to expect.

FOOD WILL NOT BE PROVIDED THIS MEETING!  Instead, if you want food, you
should call ahead to order from the Library Cafe'.  They do have a few $5
specials this week, so see the message attached below for details.  The
Cafe' home page is here:

http://www.grpl.org/yourlibrary/cafe.html

As always, there is no charge for any Grand Rapids Perl Mongers meeting, and
newcomers are always welcome.

Matt Hahnfeld
President
Grand Rapids Perl Mongers

 Matt,
    I've warned the cafe to expect extra people through on Friday. 
They really don't offer a deal for just small groups.  The $5 lunch specials
this week give quite a variety.  The full menu is available
here: http://www.grpl.org/yourlibrary/cafe.html

 You can call ahead to order at 988-5444.

 -Bill


 This week's $5.00 lunch specials, any one of the following (add chips or
fruit for $0.50):



cheeseburger
1/2 sandwich and cup of soup (turkey, ham or chicken salad sandwich) veggie
chapatti BLT pesto pizza pita chicken salad sandwich

I have a process (specifically the sybase 'ic' process) that I want to 
send commands to and then recieve the output back for further processing.

I'm aware of how to send commands via
    open(wp,"| ic")
    print wp "sp_who"
    print wp "go"
etc and so on. On the other side I know how to read data in from a 
process via
    open(rp,"date |")
    $input = <rp>
However, I cant figure out how to make these work together at the same 
time. The 'ic' program apparently isnt smart enough for me to just feed 
it the data on the command line so I _have_ to open an input pipe to the 
thing in order to drive it. At this point my knowledge fails me. How do 
I get the data back out?

I started to do a fork and quickly realized that that doesnt seem to 
solve my problem. I've heard suggestions that I need to play with some 
filehandles to deal with this but clearly Im to dense to comprehend what 
I need to do.

If you have any ideas I would much appreciate a tip [ more like an 
'idiots guide' ].

Thanks.
