in thread How do I create a simple, perl-based text filter for Vim

(this is really a problem with Windows and STDIN, not perl or Vim)

That was my first thought too. Perl scripts often have difficulty with pipes on Windows.

Have you tried wrapping the script you want to use as a filter with pl2bat? A quick test here works with Vim 6.3 on Win2K.
