You may be on the right track with this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ perl -e 'open TEST, "-|", "ls" , "-l" or die;
while(<TEST>) { print; }'
Can't use an undefined value as filehandle reference at -e line 1.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ perl -e 'open TEST, "-|", "ls" , "-l" or die;
while(<TEST>) { print; }'
<directory listing as expected>
Interestingly `perldoc -f open` in the woody version claims to
support "open FILEHANDLE,MODE,LIST", but it seems that should be
"open FILEHANDLE,MODE,EXPR" instead.
