redirect variable to same program at next loop

Hi all,

I don't know how to redirect a variable in this case:

while true
do
./ready_data
...
done

ready_data should read a file looking for an ID, if this doesn't exist then add the last ID seen into the first line.

When ID exists there is no problem, but when ID doesn't exist, I need the ID variable (inside ready_data) for the next loop process. I have tried with global variables but it seems not working.

while true
do
ID=`./ready_data` with echo ID inside ready_data is not working
done


Any idea on how can I do it?

Thanks

NAME
CGI::Application::Plugin::Redirect - Easy external redirects in CGI::Application SYNOPSIS
package My::App; use CGI::Application::Plugin::Redirect; sub cgiapp_prerun { my $self = shift; if ( << not logged in >> ) { return $self->redirect('login.html'); } } sub byebye { my $self = shift; return $self->redirect('http://www.example.com/', '301 Moved Permanently'); } DESCRIPTION
This plugin provides an easy way to do external redirects in CGI::Application. You don't have to worry about setting headers or worrying about return types, as that is all handled for you. "redirect" does an external redirect, which means that the browser will receive a command to load a new page, and a fresh request will come in. If you just want to display the results of another runmode within the same module, then it is often sufficient to use the "forward" method in CGI::Application::Plugin::Forward instead. METHODS
redirect($url, $status) Interupt the current request, and redirect to an external URL. If you happen to be inside a prerun method when you call this, the current runmode will automatically be short circuited so that it will not execute. As soon as all prerun method have finished, the redirect will happen without the runmode being executed. The $status parameter is optional as the CGI module will default to something suitable. return $self->redirect('http://www.example.com/'); - or - return $self->redirect('http://www.example.com/', '301 Moved Permanently'); SEE ALSO
