"Do Shell Script" Input...

I have a Perl script which I am trying to execute with the "do shell script" command. However, this Perl script requires user input to execute fully, and whenever I try to execute it, it hangs with a spinning cursor. Here is the code:

set x to (do shell script "x.perl")
display dialog x

What I would like to do is to have a dialog box displayed any time user input is necessary, and have this passed to the executing program so it can continue to execute. Any ideas?
