# New Ticket Created by Leah # Please include the string: [perl #24519] # in the subject line of all future correspondence about this issue. # <URL: http://rt.perl.org/rt2/Ticket/Display.html?id=24519 > Is there a way to read files given on the commandline which begin or end with '|' (pipe) using <>, -p, or -n? It doesn't seem to be possible. It seems strange that perl would trust the user to open arbitrary pipes. -- LeahThread Next
