Abstract

    IPC::Pipeline - Create a shell-like pipeline of many running commands

Description

    This module provides a calling convention similar to that of IPC::Open3 for
    performing inter-process I/O, but allowing this to be done using multiple,
    consecutively piped processes as specified by the user.  Three file handles
    are returned: A file handle for writing to the first process in the
    pipeline, a file handle for reading output from the last process in the
    pipeline, and a file handle for reading errors from all children.  Each
    process ID is returned and can be monitored with facilities such as
    waitpid().

    Please consult the POD-formatted documentation for a full synopsis,
    examples, and caveats.

Detailed Documentation

    For further information, you may generate the IPC::Pipeline man page from
    the included Plain Old Documentation, and read it, by performing the
    following commands:

        $ perl Makefile.PL
        $ make manifypods
        $ man blib/man3/IPC::Pipeline.3pm

    This documentation is of course available via man(1) after installation in
    the IPC::Pipeline(3pm) page.
