Well, there was that really awkward [1] attempt at trying to get the nice
piping semantics of:
perl program file | perl -e code | perl program2
purely in Perl without invoking the shell that I posted earlier. [2] However,
I guess this is really more about the power of shell pipes than awk/sed.

[2] IO::All edges towards it.
