Oh! I misunderstood you then. Sorry.
This is kind of backwards. I usually let Emacs start other programs as
inferior processes, instead of the other way around. Perhaps someone
more experienced with Emacs can help you with this (i.e. you could write
a function that can be called with:
perl script.pl | emacs --batch -f foo-function
and let `foo-function' read from the standard input stream. But I know
far too little to do that myself.
