[Bioperl-l] how to use pipe in perl script?

[Andreas Kahari]

Another solution for another interpetation of the problem:

If you want to do something like

    script1.pl | script2.pl

Then script1.pl should write it's results to standard output
(<STDOUT>, the default for e.g. print()), and script2.pl should
read its input from standard input (<STDIN>).  And that's all
there is to it.
