Porters,

I've been looking into IPC modules, and noticed that IO::Pipe's tests are skipped on Windows:

  http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blob/HEAD:/dist/IO/t/io_pipe.t#l40

However, @BrowserUK tells me [via Perlmonks](http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=970255) that IO::Pipe works fine on Windows, and has for a while. Should the tests be re-enabled?

Best,

David
