Hi,

I do a

    system('some_command')

...to execute a program that expects some data on standard input. I can't
simply do a

    system('echo somedata | some_command')

...due to the fact that I don't have all the data at the time I call the
program.

Is it possible to get an IO object that wraps the standard input of the
command executed, and having the command run in the background until it
terminates?

Thanks a lot!
