You want to pipe some data into the program and some data out of it. See perldoc perlipc ("Bidirectional Communication with Another Process"). In short, I think you'd need this: use FileHandle; use IPC::Open2; my($unifdef_in, $unifdef_out); open2($unifdef_in, $unifdef_out, 'scripts/unifdef', '-U__KERNEL__') ...; open(my $infile, '<', "$odir/$ofile") || die ...; while (my $line = <$infile>) { print $unifdef_in $line; } close $infile; close $unifdef_in; # Send EOF to unifdef, so that it sends EOF to us. open(my $outfile ...; while (my $line = <$unifdef_out>) { print $outfile $line; } close $outfile; close $unifdef_out; But as you see this is rather lengthy. I also don't know if it's correct (IOW, completely untested), so you may have to fiddle a bit to get it working. Good luck.
