From: Dave on 26 Mar 2010 15:00 Gang, I'm looking for an equivalent in perl to the php syntax: $data = file_get_contents('php://input'); I've read some posts about IO::File::String and LWP::Simple possibly being used instead of 'file_get_contents'. The php line accepts raw input and assigns it to a variable. This input is coming from the output of another script and not a file. If anyone has any ideas or modules to look into, please feel free to chime in! Thanks, Dave

Are your trying to capture the output of another program? 'perldoc -q output': Why can't I get the output of a command with system()? There are other ways for special circumstances, too, but in general you want backticks or qx. jue

The description for php://input is as follows: php://input allows you to read raw POST data. It is a less memory intensive alternative to $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA and does not need any special php.ini directives. php://input is not available with enctype="multipart/form-data". Do perl have an equivalent for this? Thanks, Dave
