I understand I can pipe a command to a handle like so:
open(NET,"ipconfig /all |");
So, is is possible to do the same to a Win32::API process? 
#setup the APi Call
$CreateProcess = new Win32::API("kernel32", "CreateProcess",['P','P','
+P','P', 'N','N', 'P','P','P','P'],'N');
$dwFlags 1|0x00000100;
my $si = pack("LLLLLLLLLLLL SS LLLL",68,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,$dwFlags,0
+,0,0,-1,-1,-1);
my $processinfo = pack("LLLL",0,0,0,0);
#now attempt to pipe the call to a handle
open(CP,$CreateProcess->Call(0,"ipconfig",0,0,0,0x10,0,".",$si,$proces
+sinfo) |);

I am attempting to capture the output of console applications without opening a console window by calling the command through CreateProcess and setting the struct to a hidden window.
I currently get the following error:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Any help would be appreciated
