Thanks! This looks promesing... but I can't figure it out.

I tried open2 (since I don't need the stderr from open3), but I don't even get the output of mycommand to show up...
what should I put in the while(< ??? >)... or did I even use the open2 command properly? 
use IPC::Open2;

$file = $ARGV[0];

local *FRGZ;
local *TOGZ;
local *FRCMD;

$pid1 = open2(*FRGZ, *TOGZ, "gzip -dc $file");
$pid2 = open2(*FRCMD, '<FRGZ', 'mycommand');

while (<*FRCMD>)
{

    print;
}

maybe someone can provide an example of how to make this work...
My idea here is for the command "gzip -dc $file" to pipe its output to *FRGZ. Then I would pipe *FRGZ into "mycommand" and the output would be on *FRCMD .... ???
