If you're talking about the 5.8 perlipc, then that's the only way
to do it, AFAIK.
But in case you haven't seen this yet, it's at least nicer than
the old work-around:
require 5.008;
sub my_readpipe {
open my $fh, '-|', @_;
<$fh>
}

command help using open/backticks
Here's my situation... I have a command I need to run and parse the output of, BUT the command is longer than 255 characters. is there a way to use the PROGRAM LIST format for backticks or open the same way you can for exec and system?
