Perhaps it should follow the practice of single quoting non-interpolated 
strings like '|-' and 'fortune'?  Also, the filehandle in a simple 
scalar $pipe does not need to be wrapped in a block when used as an 
argument to print.  The error message could probably stand to contain 
$! as well.

I find the md5sum example not very illustrative (because md5sum will 
just print the result to stdout.)  What about simply restating the 
aforementioned lpr and netstat examples?

Finally, should these examples be included *before* the references to 
IPC::Open2 and perlipc?
