Interactive TextPad Window for Tools

I'm using Perl and would like to be able to run Perl scripts that accept input and produce output. I'd like that input and output to come from and o to a TextPad window. The output part works fine aready, of course, but I can't figure out any way to send input--interactively--to my Perl script.

I've seen comments by other users who have the same problem. Could some authoritative person comment on whether this is a feasible option, or explain why we should be doing this some other way? A comment on this situation in the documentation would be great--it must be avery common desire by people writing scripts--Perl, Java, or whatever.
