paste buffer in X11

[Jeroen Wolff]

Hi, i would like to make way to stuff some text in the X11 paste buffer, so
that in another xterm i can past the text (middle mouse button)
Is there a way in perl?

Thanks!

I've never used it, but it looks like
http://search.cpan.org/~king/Clipboard-0.09/lib/Clipboard.pm claims to
do what you want. Might be worth a try.

Thanks Paul,

Clipboard.pm uses xclip. And that was exactly the tool i needed.
So now i'm using a shell script together with xclip.

Thanks for helping me out!
