in reply to Linux: force commands that expect filename args to accept piped input

If I'm not mistaken, any system that supports /proc/$$/fd/0 also supports /dev/fd/0, so you could just learn to type that instead of carrying your Perl program around. Example: 
complex pipe | of commands | nastycommand file1 file2 /dev/fd/0 file3

    Thanks! I knew there must have been a simpler solution escaping me.
