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::Filter::Bytecode(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  PAR::Filter::Bytecode(3)

NAME

       PAR::Filter::Bytecode - Bytecode filter

SYNOPSIS

	   PAR::Filter::Bytecode->apply($code); # transforms $code

DESCRIPTION

       This filter is deprecated. The B::Bytecode code has been removed from the newest development series of perl and will not be included in
       perl 5.10 any more. Please have a look at Steve Hay's PAR::Filter::Crypto module if you want to hide your sources.

       This filter uses B::Bytecode to turn the script into comment-free, architecture-specific Perl bytecode, and uses ByteLoader to load back on
       execution.

       For pp users, please add an extra -M option, like this:

	   pp -f Bytecode -M ByteLoader

       Otherwise, the implicit dependency on ByteLoader will not be detected.

CAVEATS

       This backend exhibits all bugs listed in B::Bytecode, and then some.

       Bytecode support is considered to be extremely fragile on Perl versions earlier than 5.8.1, and is still far from robust (as of this
       writing).

       Bytecode is not supported by perl 5.9 and later.
