[Bioperl-l] how to use pipe in perl script?

[Paulo Almeida]

You can use the 'system' command to do something like this:

system("program1 -infile filename | program2");

If that doesn't work for some reason, you could write the output of the 
first program to a file, and then open it with the second program.

system("program1 -infile filename > output");
system ("program2 < output");

I hope that's what you wanted, I'm not sure I understood...
