cat with pipe Can't Post
Hello,
I want to do this https://github.com/ktoso/sidewinder-x6-linux-macro-key-events/blob/master/run.sh in perl. I've tried this:
Code
print <>;
It's work with other files (cat blabla), but with file /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon/2u not.
Do you know what to do?
Thank you,
Knezi

That's a useless use of cat example, which you shouldn't do. It's a sign of bad perl coding.

If you provide more details on what you really need to accomplish, we will be able to show you a better approach.

I totally agree (even though I did not understand everything in what the OP was contemplating to to).

I want to read output of keyboard connected with usb. Script "cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon/2u | perl_file" runs in background and gives output to script in perl which would works with it. Have you got any ideas?
Thank you.

What kind of keyboard?

For now I'll assume you mean your computer keyboard.

When you press a key on the keyboard, it sends the data to STDIN and that's the filehandle that you read from to get that keyboard input.

If that's not what you're looking for, then you'll need to explain in more clear detail what you need.

If you need to communicate with other types of usb devices, then use one of the usb modules, such as Device::USB::Device

It's exactly what I am looking for.
