No, not really.
You can do a "pipe open" like this
my $code = '/path/to/your/script';
my @args = qw( -x -y -z );
open( IN, '-|', $code, @args ) or die "Can't spawn '$code': $!";
and then leisurely read your input:
while( my $line = <IN> ){
# do something
}
In any case, I recommend that you read the perlopentut and
perlipc manpages for thw whole story ;-)
