in reply to Process output of one script with another script.

So what keeps you from trying if it works or not? just say 

oneTwoThree.pl | filterTwoThree.pl

instead of 
filterTwoThree.pl | oneTwoThree.pl

Pipes worked well on DOS from it's earliest versions. But your question isn't related to perl, don't you think? ;)

    although strictly speaking, in early versions of DOS, pipes were just syntactic sugar: 
    foo | more
is implemented as
foo > tmpfile; more < tmpfile; del tmpfile

    which fails utterly in the face of a command that produces infinite output. I don't know whether things have improved since; I certainly hope so, but I haven't used MS on the desktop since 1987.
