- Hi,
- Is it possible to call a text editor from Perl? I want to do something
- like this:
- `/usr/ucb/vi /tmp/addgr$$`;
- but it looks like the terminal i/o is not working properly, so it just
- hangs at that statement. Afterwards I have to reset my terminal, so I'm sure
- it's scrogged somehow. Thanks for any help. I'd hate to have to go back to
- using csh.
-
- I'm on a Sun Sparc, running os 4.1.2, and the latest Perl.
