I think that you should be able to do everything you want to directly in perl or by making calls to the shell from your perl script. At the least you'd have an easier time reading from and writing to variables.

In perl you can do
Code:
my $blah = <STDIN>;
chomp $blah;

to read user input

PAR::Packer(3)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					    PAR::Packer(3)

NAME

       PAR::Packer - PAR Packager

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements the App::Packer::Backend interface, for generating stand-alone executables, perl scripts and PAR files.

       Currently, this module is used by the command line tool pp internally, as well as by the contributed contrib/gui_pp/gpp program.

       Since version 0.97 of PAR, this module and its related tools such as "pp" have been stripped from the PAR distribution and are now
       distributed as the "PAR-Packer" distribution so that PAR users need not necessarily have a C compiler.

SEE ALSO

       PAR, pp

       App::Packer, App::Packer::Backend

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

       Mattia Barbon for taking the first step in refactoring pp into App::Packer::Backend::PAR, and Edward S. Peschko for continuing the work
       that eventually became this module.
