Also, https://rkeithhill.wordpress.com/2014/11/01/windows-powershell-and-named-pipes/ one of many links showing how to create them pipes in powershell. Oh you need to ignite the pipe server! I can't believe it's not butter lol. And lol2 reading the comments under SO links provided above, like: A|B|C is possible but it waits A to finish in order to "pipe" its output into B and ditto on to C. I stop here lest this becomes trolling.
Q: can IPC::Run be used to create windows pipes? LIMITATIONS section says it's experimental.
