The other comments give cleaner solutions to your overall problem but in response to your error: 

List form of pipe open not implemented at (eval 19) line 109

It seems that the "list form of pipe" is not implemented on Windows. Quoth the perldoc -f open (emphasis mine):

... In the form of pipe opens taking three or more arguments, if LIST is specified (extra arguments after the command name) then LIST becomes arguments to the command invoked if the platform supports it. ...

So I suppose you could use join to avoid that problem.
