That's what /proc/self/fd/0 in Linux is for. :-)

$ ps | cat /proc/self/fd/0
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
16085 pts/6    00:00:00 bash
18434 pts/6    00:00:00 ps
18435 pts/6    00:00:00 cat

This works as long as the reader does not need to seek in the file, which I
doubt will be a problem if a perl module is doing the reading.

You'll probably need to have Tod::Text run in a different process, but at
least you can now have it as part of a pipe.
