Not necessarily in C, although the C version could be set to block and 
when the pipe was emptied would refill it as earlier mentioned in this 
thread.
An example would be good enough, using C to create and refill the pipe.

The perl example works well but is one time or would need to be written 
to loop as well. ?? Is there a mechanism in perl to tell if the pipe has 
been emptied so it would automatically loop similarly to the blocking io 
of C.??
I am not familiar enough with perl to answer that one right now.

Thanks
