Well, the feature is there in 5.8.0, it's just not portable. Of course, you mention the other way to implement that is with a pipe(), fork(), and exec() so it's just as portable as that alternative. At least the feature is documented to be there; I don't have an installation of 5.8.0 to test with. The equivalent can also be accomplished with IPC::Open2::open2.
