Well, via '-nw' you tell emacs to use the tty as input, but the tty is
already used by perl. Do you really need '-nw'? If you really need
-nw, you could try something along the lines of
system("emacs -nw $tempfile -f mail-mode </dev/tty");
I.e. use shell input redirection to the controlling tty. I have no
idea how robust that would be, and would rather get rid of the '-nw'.
